DeKalb library officials seek loan By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – In order to meet a looming June 30 deadline, the DeKalb Public Library will borrow $6 million from a private bank as a part of its fundraising strategy for its planned expansion. Library officials must raise
cussions with Castle Bank, National Bank & Trust, and Resource Bank, but no specific dollar amounts have been agreed on. “We have gone to the banks to ask them if they will provide us with that much money so we can launch our private donation campaign,” Neher said. “It appears they are will-
$15.5 million by June 30 so they can take advantage of an $8.5 million library construction grant they were awarded in December by the State of Illinois. The library would repay the loan with private donations made to the expansion within the next three years. Board President Clark Neher said they are in dis-
ing to do that.” Also on Thursday, Library Director Dee Coover said she still was gathering information on the matter. “I am working on it, but I am not going to comment at this time,” Coover said. She added that she is speaking with an “interested party” Monday about the loan.

DeKalb VOCAL EXPRESSION expecting heaviest snowfall By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com DeKALB – If Dan Turner’s wish came true, he would be just finishing up a round of snow plowing this morning. Turner, owner of Kelly & Dan’s Lawn Care and Snow Removal in DeKalb, was preparing his equipment and crew Thursday for the up to 5 inches of snow he was expecting to fall overnight. After a relatively mild winter, Turner said he would not mind late-night work. “I’m pretty well set, but it’s sure nice to have that little extra income,” Turner said. “If it snows, I got work. If it doesn’t, I don’t, but I’m not out anything.” today’s Chances are Turner found some forecast work late Thursday and today as a severe snowstorm that dumped more than a foot of snow in some • Freezing Midwestern states tapered off as rain throughit entered Illinois.

Northern Illinois University meteorologist Gilbert Sebenste expected about 5 inches of snow by early today, potentially the highest snowfall of the winter. DeKalb received 4.2 inches of snow Feb. 7. “This will not be the blizzard of 2011,” Sebenste said. “But it will create some slippery and icy conditions.” DeKalb area residents also can expect freezing rain throughout the day and a light snow between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. today, Sebenste said. The next storm is expected Monday or Tuesday, but it is too early to tell if it will be freezing rain or snow. T.J.

The strange letter I received The envelope arrived Feb. 1, and I knew it would be weird even before I opened it. Journalism hasn’t made me (much) smarter, richer or better looking, but I do have a sharp sense of anomaly. Also, weird stuff happens around me frequently. The security envelope was addressed to “Resident” in a shaky hand. The return address was a P.O. Box in a small town in Arkansas. Inside was a two-page newsletter extolling “the largest Ku Klux Klan in existence today,” which “keeps alive the memory of the original Klansmen and the principles and traditions for which they risked their lives.” Other than randomness, I don’t know why I received this mailing, because I’m about the last white guy who would endorse or join the KKK. I’m flawed, but I’m not a white supremacist. Still, I have a wicked paranoid streak, so even though in my rational mind I knew this was just a badly executed direct mailing (bad in mindset, design, and spelling), I still freaked out. Northern Illinois University
THE FINE LINE Jason Akst prides itself in serving diverse populations, and I share that pride and obligation to try to help people advance their education regardless of their skin color or anything else. So I need a story that the KKK wants to recruit me going around like I need a hole in the head. This week, NIU fired its police chief, Donald Grady. Grady has alleged that his firing was racially motivated. Many people have criticized Grady for “playing the race card,” but it’s also important to remember that no matter how enlightened we think we are, racism is still easy to find. Sometimes it finds you, like the letter I received. So yes, there does remain a real, underground network of racists in America. But it doesn’t mean everything that happens comes back to the question of race, and we shouldn’t act as if that’s the case, either. Combating racism is one of the rea-
sons we celebrate African American History Month, which is February. I don’t know if we’ll ever get beyond loathing, of self or others, but I’ll keep trying. Maybe, as Ozzy Osbourne sings, “it’s not too late … to learn how to love, and forget how to hate.” One day, in Pampa, Texas in the late 1950s, Mom dropped off my older sisters at the theater for a matinee. She noticed two black girls by the pay window, obviously sad. Mom realized they didn’t have enough money for tickets. She asked how much they needed. They told her, and Mom paid the difference so that the girls could see the show. Nowadays, that story could easily be viewed as racist: The superior white lady stooping to help the poor black girls. But Mom, a product of the South and the Great Depression, told it for decades as a simple act of people being good to each other. She felt good about how the girls smiled.

8 TODAY’S TALKER
Drew Peterson sentenced to 38 years By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press JOLIET – Drew Peterson – the swaggering Chicago-area police officer who gained notoriety after his much-younger fourth wife vanished in 2007 – was sentenced to 38 years in prison Thursday for murdering his third wife. The sentence came moments after Peterson shocked the courtroom with a rare public outburst of anger as he proclaimed his innocence in the death of Kathleen Savio. “I did not kill Kathleen!” he shouted at the top of his lungs, emphasizing every word. Peterson seemed to look across the courtroom at Savio’s family. Savio’s sister Susan Doman shot back “Yes, you did. You liar!” before the judge ordered sheriff’s deputies to remove her from the courtroom. Illinois does not have the death penalty, and the 59-year-old Peterson had faced a maximum 60-year prison term. The judge gave him four years’ credit for time he has served since his arrest. Jurors convicted Peterson in September in Savio’s 2004 death. Neighbors found the 40-year-old’s body in a dry bathtub at home with a gash on her head – her hair soaked in blood. Peterson is also a suspect in the disappearance of Stacy Peterson – who was 23-years-old when she vanished – but he hasn’t been charged in her case. It was her disappearance that led authorities to take another look at Sav-
WASHINGTON – Four former peanut company employees have been charged with scheming to manufacture and ship salmonella-tainted peanuts that killed nine, sickened hundreds and prompted one of the largest recalls in history. The indictment by a federal grand jury in Georgia is a rare move by the federal government after an outbreak connected to food. Justice Department officials said Thursday it serves as a warning to food manufacturers who may compromise consumer safety in search of higher profits.

Later in the day, Burmila sentenced Peterson to 38 years in prison for the crime. io’s death and eventually reclassify it from an accident to a homicide. Fascination nationwide with Peterson arose from speculation he sought to use his law enforcement expertise to get away with murder. After his outburst, Peterson addressed the judge with a rambling speech, claiming he had been railroaded. He spoke in mostly hushed tones, crying and trying to regain his composure at times. His voice quivered and his hands were shaking as he reached out for a glass of water.
He aimed some of his anger at lead prosecutor James Glasgow, saying sarcastically that Glasgow could now celebrate because he had destroyed Peterson’s life. “You perpetrated the largest railroad job ever in this country,” Peterson told him. Minutes later, Peterson challenged Glasgow to look him in the eyes. Glasgow, who had been taking notes, laid down his pen, folded his arms and looked straight back at Peterson. “Never forget what you’ve done here,” Peterson said, gritting his teeth.

“When food or drug manufacturers lie and cut corners, they put all of us at risk.” Stuart F. Delery Justice Department Civil Division “When food or drug manufacturers lie and cut corners, they put all of us at risk,” Stuart F. Delery, who heads the Justice Department’s Civil Division, said at a news conference. “The Department of Justice will not hesitate to pursue any person whose criminal conduct risks the safety of Americans who have done nothing more than eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.”
The 76-count indictment was unsealed late Wednesday in federal court in Albany, Ga. It accuses Peanut Corporation of America owner Stewart Parnell, his brother Michael Parnell and Georgia plant manager Samuel Lightsey with conspiracy, mail fraud, wire fraud and the introduction of adulterated and misbranded food into interstate commerce with the intent to defraud or mislead.
Michael Parnell was a food broker who worked with the company. Stewart Parnell, Lightsey and quality assurance manager Mary Wilkerson were also charged with obstruction of justice. The conspiracy and obstruction of justice charges each carry a maximum sentence of 20 years. The Justice Department said a fifth employee had pleaded guilty to similar charges in a separate case. Criminal charges are rare in food outbreak cases because intentional adulteration is often hard to prove and companies often step up and acknowledge their mistakes.

Brockton police say the boy made the emergency call just after 8 p.m. Wednesday and told the dispatcher he was calling to report his mother because he did not want to go to bed. There was no emergency. The Enterprise reported that according to the police log, an officer went to the boy’s home and explained to him when it’s appropriate – and when it’s not – to call 911.

The four DeKalb mayoral candidates (from left) Mike Verbic, John Rey, Jennifer Groce and David Jacobson take turns making two-minute introductory statements Thursday before answering audience questions at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in DeKalb.
Development, library expansion top mayoral candidates forum By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – How DeKalb’s mayoral candidates would tackle economic development and the library’s proposed expansion were brought out at Thursday’s candidate night. Each of the candidates said they would protect and invest in existing businesses before using public money to bring in outside businesses. Where the candidates differed was how incentives like tax increment financing would be used. “The free market should decide if it makes sense to come here,” said candidate David Jacobson, 1st Ward alderman. “Why are the taxpayers paying you for the opportunity?” The DeKalb County Democrats hosted the candidate’s night Thursday as a snowstorm descended on the area. Chairman Mark Pietrowski said the party is not endorsing any candidate, as the mayoral race is a nonpartisan race. All questions to the candi-
dates were from the audience and addressed to all candidates. About 80 people came out to the forum, including DeKalb County Board members, and city and township officials. The fact that the DeKalb City Council loaned Olive Garden $900,000 in tax increment financing funds was criticized directly or indirectly by the candidates. Mike Verbic, a member of the DeKalb school board, said development in downtown DeKalb would occur with more parking. He also questioned the wisdom of giving incentives to new businesses when there are existing ones that could need it. Jennifer Groce, the former executive director of Re:New DeKalb, voiced similar sentiments. “They have great ideas on how to grow their businesses,” Groce said. “We have to help them.” John Rey, the secretary of Re:New DeKalb, agreed with
Groce in that the city needs to examine how new businesses that might get incentives would detract from existing ones. The candidates’ opinions differ on support for the DeKalb Public Library’s upcoming expansion. In addition to having the city borrow $7.5 million for the project, the library wants to borrow $6 million from a private bank so it can qualify for a state grant worth $8.5 million. Jacobson said he was worried that the city could be on the hook for $13.5 million if the library’s fundraising efforts fail. He wanted more fundraising to be done. Verbic disagreed. He felt the city should match the state grant, and as private fundraising came in, the building would ebb and flow with it. Rey said the library project will bring jobs to the community, while Groce shared Jacobson’s concern on how the money would impact the city’s credit rating.
SYCAMORE – There’s more to Hercules than his giant shell and slow-and-steady nature. He can be quite the competitor, too. The 10-year-old sulcata tortoise at the Midwest Museum of Natural History and his turtle friends are eager to show off their skills as they compete in obstacle courses, races and other games. “We thought we’d give them a chance to strut their stuff,” said the museum’s director, Molly Trickey. Hercules is one of six turtles in the museum’s Totally Turtles educational program. The program will feature the turtles at its inaugural turtle-themed event at 11 a.m. Saturday at the museum, 425 W. State St. in Sycamore. Trickey said the museum has five different species of turtles which range from aquatic to land-dwelling and carnivorous to herbivorous. “They definitely have their own personalities,” she said. One of Hercules’ many traits is his ability to recognize different colors through a clicker-training technique. “It’s so cool,” said museum staff member Bethany Gilliam. “I always tell everyone that Hercules loves his colors.” Hercules receives a treat every time he is able to correctly identify a color. Gilliam said he knows which colors will get him a treat. She said he is familiar with red and blue so far.

“It’s really cool to see in that tiny head, there’s a brain and it’s working and functioning all the time,” she said. Heather Williams, a museum staff member who will be teaching guests about the turtles, said the idea came from museum visitors’ curiosity about the animals. “We kept our turtles and tortoises [at the museum] on a daily basis and got a lot of questions about how best to care for them,” she said. She said this event, which will feature turtle trivia, games and crafts, will help educate people, especially children, on how to care for
these unique creatures. Gilliam said most of the museum’s 20 animals, including the turtles, have been rescued, because many people don’t know how to care for them properly. She said the event will teach people how to give turtles the attention they need. Trickey said she is looking forward to the event and feels it will be a great learning experience for children. “The kids get an opportunity to see how smart these animals really are,” she said. The event is free with museum admission and open to the public.

DeKALB – The ice conditions at DeKalb’s Rotary Park were particularly dangerous Thursday morning – so DeKalb firefighters went right into the water. The mostly frozen pond had thick ice around the edges and patches of thinner ice and open water in the middle. It was typical for most ice rescues because of the danger of the ice’s structure, so firefighters practiced different ice rescue situations as part of the department’s training process. “An ice rescue needs to be a quick deployment,” DeKalb Fire Chief Eric Hicks said. “Once they go under, it’s hard to get them.” The 13 firefighters on duty entered the pond one at a time in water suits, either as the rescuer or the victim, and the department’s Assistant Chief Jeff McMaster, led and coached them. Although the atmosphere was somewhat relaxed, McMaster said an actual ice rescue is much more urgent.
• Don’t walk on ice thinner than three inches • Stay away from ice surrounding moving water • Don’t walk on snow-covered ice • Don’t go alone • Wear a personal flotation device when on the ice

“Because of the extreme cold waters, we have to act quick,” he said. Ice rescues can take different turns, depending on the victim, McMaster said. For example, sometimes the victim panics and tries to climb on top of the rescuer for support. He said the main health issues the department sees a victim suffer in these situations include hypothermia and cardiac and psychological-related conditions. Victims can suffer from conditions such as depressed
S�gn�n� ��a��e�n�in� �uet����s�)
respiration, heart trouble from shock and difficulty breathing after aspirating enough water through near drowning. McMaster said there are many ways to avoid becoming an ice rescue victim. He recommends wearing ice awls, spikes with handles. If victims fall through the ice, they can pull themselves using the awls. He also said to avoid walking on ice when it’s melting or around moving water. Although the department only encounters an ice rescue situation a few times a year, McMaster said it’s still important to train for these serious occurrences. “Some of the most dangerous things are low frequency but high risk,” he said. He said most incidents go unreported because the victims are able to rescue themselves. But he said when the ice becomes unstable and the buoyancy changes, the person’s dexterity decreases. That’s when the fire department steps in. “We have a pretty well scripted plan,” said Hicks.

Medicaid cuts fall short of savings By CARLA K. JOHNSON The Associated Press
AP file photo
Carlos Maisonet, 73, reacts as Dr. Eva Berrios-Colon, a professor at Touro College of Pharmacy, injects him with flu vaccine in January during a visit to the faculty practice center at Brooklyn Hospital in New York.
Flu shot doing poor job of protecting the elderly By MIKE STOBBE The Associated Press ATLANTA – It turns out this year’s flu shot is doing a startlingly dismal job of protecting senior citizens, the most vulnerable age group. The vaccine is proving only 9 percent effective in people 65 and older against the harsh strain of the flu that is predominant this season, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday. Health officials are baffled as to why this is so. But the findings help explain why so many older people have been hospitalized with the flu this year. Despite the findings, the CDC stood by its recommendation that everyone older than 6 months get flu shots, the elderly included, because some protection is better than none, and because those who are vaccinated and still get sick may suffer less severe symptoms. “Year in and year out, the vaccine is the best protection we have,” said CDC flu expert Dr. Joseph Bresee. Overall, across the age groups studied, the vaccine’s effectiveness was found to
be a moderate 56 percent, which means those who got a shot have a 56 percent lower chance of winding up at the doctor with the flu. That is somewhat worse than what has been seen in other years. For those 65 and older, the vaccine was only 27 percent effective against the three strains it is designed to protect against, the worst level in about a decade. It did a particularly poor job against the tough strain that is causing more than three-quarters of the illnesses this year. It is well known that flu vaccine tends to protect younger people better than older ones. Elderly people have weaker immune systems that don’t respond as well to flu shots, and they are more vulnerable to the illness and its complications, including pneumonia. But health officials said they don’t know why this year’s vaccine did so poorly in that age group. One theory, as yet unproven, is that older people’s immune systems were accustomed to strains from the past two years and had more trouble switching gears to handle this year’s different, harsh strain.
8BRIEFS Freed Taliban fighters return to insurgency
Police: Hotel altercation sparked Vegas shooting
ISLAMABAD – At least half the Afghan Taliban recently freed from Pakistani prisons have rejoined the insurgency, a Pakistani intelligence official says, throwing into question the value of such goodwill gestures that the Afghan government requested to restart a flagging peace process. A senior Western official who spoke on the condition of anonymity so he could talk freely confirmed that “some” newly freed Taliban have returned to the battlefield. The development underscores the difficulties in reaching a political deal with the Taliban before the end of 2014, when NATO and U.S. troops are scheduled to have completed their withdrawal from Afghanistan. Many Taliban released from the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay have also gone underground. Despite some recent signs from the Taliban that they are willing to share power and want to avoid a civil war, the militants may well be playing for time until 2014. That’s also when the Afghans are scheduled to elect a new president to succeed Hamid Karzai, whom the insurgents consider an American puppet.
LAS VEGAS – The Las Vegas Strip became a scene of deadly violence early Thursday when someone in a black Range Rover opened fire on a Maserati, sending it crashing into a taxi that burst into flames, leaving three people dead and at least six injured. Police believe an altercation earlier at an unspecified casino resort prompted the car-to-car attack in the heart of the Strip at Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road. The crossroads is the site of several major hotel-casinos, including Bellagio, Caesars Palace and Bally’s. “This doesn’t happen where we come from, not on this scale,” said Mark Thompson, who was visiting from Manchester, England, with his wife. “We get stabbings, and gang violence, but this is like something out of a movie. Like ‘Die Hard’ or something.” Police said they were contacting authorities in three neighboring states about the Range Rover Sport with dark tinted windows, distinctive black custom rims and paper dealer ads in place of license plates that fled the scene about 4:20 a.m.

CHICAGO – Savings from cuts to the Illinois Medicaid program have fallen short by $464 million, about 30 percent of the expected $1.6 billion in projected savings that Gov. Pat Quinn pushed for last year. In the first public report on how cuts to the health care safety-net program are being carried out, Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services Director Julie Hamos detailed the actual savings of cost-cutting measures so far. Hamos reported to the House Human Services Appropriation Committee on Thursday in Springfield. Repairing a long-term deficit in the Medicaid program
“We were able to achieve a billion dollars in health savings and that’s never been done in Medicaid history.” Julie Hamos Director of Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services was a top legislative priority for Quinn. In June, the Chicago Democrat signed a multilayered package of cuts and taxes, known as the SMART Act, including a cigarette-tax increase of $1 per pack. Some cuts have gone as planned, such as dropping Medicaid coverage for thousands of working parents and eliminating coverage of dental care and visits to chiropractors for adults. “We were able to achieve
a billion dollars in health savings and that’s never been done in Medicaid history,” Hamos told The Associated Press in a telephone interview after giving the report. But a projected savings of $350 million from making sure only people who are eligible receive Medicaid was too optimistic, Hamos said. An outside vendor started the work in January. Reston, Va.-based Maximus Inc. was hired to improve the system, eliminate a
backlog and make recommendations to state caseworkers. Hamos said that it takes time to implement a large effort to check the eligibility of 2.7 million Medicaid recipients. Her new estimate for savings from the eligibility crackdown is $150 million for this year. “This company had to hire and train 500 people. They had to rent office space,” Hamos said. “The company [Maximus] believes [this process] should take seven months. We made them do it in 90 days, and by Jan. 2, they were up and running.” State Rep. Patti Bellock, RHinsdale, said she’s alarmed by the report because of the uncertainty over what actual savings will be achieved.

GOP senators treading carefully with tea party By DAVID ESPO The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Twice burned, Republicans are treading carefully around tea party groups as they pursue a Senate majority that slipped through their fingers in 2010 and 2012. “You’d have to be an idiot not to prepare” for primary election challenges from the right, no matter the state, said Rob Jesmer, who was executive director of the GOP Senate campaign committee when flawed, conservative candidates captured primaries, only to lose winnable races in the fall. While incumbents work to
ward off or repel challenges from within their party, a Republican tempest already is flaring in Georgia, where GOP Sen. Saxby Chambliss is stepping down. Party officials also look apprehensively toward Iowa, where Sen. Tom Harkin’s decision to retire opens up a seat long in Democratic hands. The developments come at a time the Republican Party nationally is involved in a well-chronicled period of introspection after failing to win the White House last fall. President Barack Obama’s support reached 53 percent among women who cast ballots, 60 percent among voters younger than 30, about
71 percent among Hispanics and 93 percent among blacks. Numerous officials have said the party must find a way to broaden its appeal rather than continue to steer rightward. Brad Dayspring, a spokesman for Republicans, said consternation about a replay of recent politically damaging primaries “at least for the moment, doesn’t seem to be an issue” for the GOP. Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas, who chairs the campaign committee, declined a request for an interview. Yet the divisions that pit the party establishment against insurgents and selfstyled grass-roots groups show no signs of abating.
8WORLD BRIEF Al-Qaida tipsheet on avoiding drones found TIMBUKTU, Mali – One of the last things the bearded fighters did before leaving this city was to drive to the market where traders lay their carpets out in the sand. The al-Qaida extremists bypassed the brightly colored, high-end synthetic floor coverings and stopped their pickup truck in front of a man selling more modest mats woven from desert grass, priced at $1.40
apiece. There they bought two bales of 25 mats each, and asked him to bundle them on top of the car, along with a stack of sticks. “It’s the first time someone has bought such a large amount,” said the mat seller, Leitny Cisse al-Djoumat. “They didn’t explain why they wanted so many.” Military officials can tell why: The fighters are stretching the mats across the tops of their cars on poles to form natural carports, so that drones cannot detect them from the air.
The instruction to camouflage cars is one of 22 tips on how to avoid drones, listed on a document left behind by the Islamic extremists as they fled northern Mali from a French military intervention last month. A photocopy of the document, which was first published on a jihadist forum two years ago, was found by The Associated Press in a manila envelope on the floor of a building here occupied by al-Qaida of the Islamic Maghreb.

State insists on having money by June • LOAN Continued from page A1 the borrowing, a vote could occur in March. The state’s insistence to have the money in by June forced the library to seek a private loan, Neher said. “We cannot launch a campaign between now and June and have the full $6 million guaranteed,” Neher said. The library has a repayment plan in place for the city bonds. It will add 8 cents per $100 of assessed value to residents’ property tax bills for 20 years, which would cost the owner of a house with an assessed value of $200,000 who claims the homestead exemption about $50 more a year in property taxes. Neher said he didn’t know
how the library would repay the $6 million loan if it is unable to raise enough donations within the three-year time frame. Neher mentioned the possibility of scaling down the expansion so the library can pay off the loan if it can’t raise $6 million. “I don’t want to dwell on that. I am quite confident that we will get the money,” Neher said. “We’re in the process now where we don’t have the money from these lead donors because we’re still talking with them.” The library is technically owned by the city, which is why the City Council has the final say on borrowing. When asked if the city could be held financially liable for the library failing to back the loan, Neher said that was a last resort. “There’s no way we would
move in that direction,” Neher said. If library officials can accumulate $15.5 million by June 30, they will have to begin construction on the expansion by Nov. 17. Portions of the $8.5 million state grant would be released to the library when the expansion to the 83-yearold library reaches certain stages in the construction. Aside from the bond sale and the private loan, library leaders also want to use $1 million in library reserves and $1 million in tax increment financing funds. The library building is in a TIF district, and using the funds would require City Council approval. Earlier this month, library officials unveiled the name of their fundraising campaign: “From Barbed Wire to Fully Wired.”

Enharmonic Fusion to compete Saturday • A CAPPELLA Continued from page A1 the chemistry it has developed in the past month of focused and frequent practices could lead to a victory Saturday. “It’s very satisfying to know I’m able to compete with a group of people that sound as good as they do,” Petersen said of Enharmonic Fusion. “I’m glad to be part of this family.” Travis Erikson, director of the group, said the DeKalb competition is always tough. He said it is difficult to know what judges will look for in performances and the groups that come are always talented.

TV and movie productions such as “Glee” and “Pitch Perfect” cannot replicate the energy and magic of musical performances produced with nothing but vocals, senior Shelby Small
said. “There are a lot of awe-inspiring moments when you watch the passion people bring to the stage for that 12 minutes,” Shelby said. Win or lose, Hayes said she is proud of the strides the young Enharmonic Fusion group has made in her senior year. As she prepares to graduate, she said she already has plans to start an a cappella group when she goes to college at Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach, Fla., where no such group exists. But first she would like one more opportunity to entertain strangers on subways and at parks in New York with her friends who are never afraid to break into an a cappella rendition of their favorite songs. “There are no words to explain how awesome it was,” Hayes said of the 2012 trip. “Getting to go with all my best friends and sing and be with people who are so into music was a really great opportunity.”

Many Catholic women refuse notion of never Some of the strongest women I know are Catholics who disagree with their church but refuse to give up on it. There are the nuns, of course, including Sister Simone Campbell. I met her and her merry bus of truth-tellers last year after they rolled into Cleveland during their four-day, nine-state tour to educate Americans about the real Paul Ryan plan. The Republican congressman may have held his own in the vice presidential debate with Joe Biden, but he was no match for Campbell. Her fact-laden fight for those living in poverty left Ryan’s sham of a plan in ruins. Many Catholic women – nuns and laywomen – are activists in their communities, which is how I’ve met so many of them over the years. Any reporter or columnist who covers vulnerable populations knows to seek out Catholic charities serving those neighborhoods. Talk to the women who keep them running and you’ll soon understand more than you even knew to ask about the people they serve and the political leaders who’ve failed them. The Catholic women I know best are dear friends who’ve shared my politics for decades. My friends Maura and Sue come immediately to mind. Both were born and raised in Buffalo, N.Y., and then moved away to build grown-up lives somewhere else. They never knew each other until they met several years ago through me, their non-Catholic friend in Cleveland. Within minutes, they were talking about the Catholic parish of their childhoods. Like many lifelong Protestants, I envied their immediate bond born of a shared religion. Women such as Maura and Sue are
VIEWS Connie Schultz the face of the Roman Catholic Church’s future. They bow their heads in earnest prayer, contribute time and money to their parishes, and ask themselves regularly what Jesus would do. They also believe in empowering other women. When it comes to what is possible in the Catholic Church, they refuse to accept the notion of never. I’ve met countless Catholic women like Maura and Sue. They reject the argument that women never will be ordained. They do not believe the only way to change the church is for women to leave it in droves. They are determined to change the church from within. They celebrate success in its smallest increments. Such Catholic women are virtually fearless. They also are capable of healing the world. Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne, who is Catholic, understands this and has written an inspired piece about who should be the next pope. He is hoping for a nun. He can explain: “The cardinals who will gather to elect a new pope know that one of the church’s central and most wrenching problems is the sex abuse scandal,” he writes. “An all-male hierarchy adopted policies to cover up the abuse and seemed far too inclined to put protecting the church’s image ahead of protecting children. “Throughout history, it’s not uncommon for women to be brought in to put right what men have put wrong. A female
pope would automatically be distanced from this past and could have a degree of credibility that a male member of the hierarchy simply could not.” I am, again, reminded of Sister Simone Campbell and what happened when she took her show on the road. Campbell is not only a nun but an attorney and the executive director of NETWORK, a national lobbying group of sisters who fight for economic and social justice. After the Vatican targeted their group as a “suspect organization,” they reflected and regrouped. They figured that if they were getting all this attention, they may as well put the publicity to good use. So they launched a protest against Ryan’s budget plan, arguing that it would further hurt those Americans already suffering. The media – and a number of national talk show hosts – fell in love. Everywhere the nuns went, standing-room-only crowds greeted them like rock stars. In Cleveland, more than 400 in the audience – most of them gray-haired women – rose to their feet in thunderous applause when Simone entered the room. She was energetic. She was funny. She was the smartest person in any room. In the eyes of so many, she was also a glimpse into what the Catholic Church could be – make that will be – one fine day.

The problem with doing the wrong thing and standing by it is that it makes it difficult when you try to do the right thing down the road. That’s the pickle in which Northern Illinois University officials could find themselves if they go to court to defend their decision to fire Donald Grady from his $205,987-a-year job as NIU’s police chief. In a letter to NIU officials Feb. 3, Grady raised an important point: While he is being fired from his job, six people who have been indicted on felony charges stemming from work-related conduct have been welcomed back. (Grady has been named along with the university in a lawsuit filed by a former NIU police officer, but lawsuits are much easier to file than criminal charges.) Grady claims he is being treated differently because he is black and the “coffee fund” defendants who have been reinstated look white in their police mug shots. We don’t agree racism is at work. But if Grady does For the record sue the university over his firing, the disparity between If being charged with the handling of his case and a felony for on-the-job that of the people indicted in conduct isn’t grounds for connection with the coffee dismissal – or at least fund investigation will raise continued suspension – eyebrows. what is? If being charged with a felony for on-the-job conduct isn’t grounds for dismissal – or at least continued suspension – what is? Those accused in the coffee fund investigation face various charges. All are charged with felonies, and most are charged with violation of the state property control act. The coffee fund was an off-the-books bank account where the employees deposited the proceeds from recycling university-owned scrap metal and later used the money for their own purposes. More than $13,000 was deposited into it over seven years; the fund contained more than $2,000 when it was shut down by the university in August. The eight employees were suspended with pay, some in August, others in October. In January, the university welcomed six of them back after what it said was a thorough review of records, policies and reports. Two others remain on suspension because they are supervisors whose case requires more review, NIU officials have said. We opposed their reinstatement because it flies in the face of common sense: What employer would welcome back workers facing felony charges for on-the-job conduct? Would it not make more sense at least to wait for some resolution in the case? That decision to reinstate these workers but still fire Grady would be hard for NIU officials to explain to jurors who live in the real world, not university-land. There are good reasons Grady should no longer be the chief of police at NIU. But the people charged in the coffee fund case shouldn’t be back at work, either. Yes, standing behind bad decisions can make it difficult to justify doing the right thing.

Sad end to career Another chapter has been written in Illinois’ long, sordid history of political corruption. Former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., a Chicago Democrat, pleaded guilty Wednesday to one count of conspiracy. Federal prosecutors say Jackson conspired to convert $750,000 in campaign funds to his personal use. He faces about four years in prison under a plea deal struck with prosecutors. Caught up in the scheme was Jackson’s wife, Sandra, who pleaded guilty to filing false joint federal income tax returns from 2006 to 2011. Prosecutors say Mrs. Jackson knowingly understated the couple’s income. She faces one to two years in prison. The Jacksons both have quit their elective positions – he as an 18-year member of the House, and Mrs. Jackson as a Chicago alderwoman. Thus, the oncepromising political career of the son of the Rev. Jesse Jackson has come to an ignominious end. Details of former Rep. Jackson’s problems border on the bizarre. Prosecutors say he spent money on a $43,350 gold-plated Rolex men’s watch and furs for his wife, but also on memorabilia from celebrities such as Michael Jackson, Bruce Lee, Jimi Hendrix, and the Rev. Martin Luther King. Jackson’s health problems – he’s being treated for bipolar disorder and other issues – may have led him to make poor choices. But Illinois’ culture of political corruption likely played a role. Illinois is a breeding ground for politicians who simply don’t believe the rules apply to them. Laws exist that ban the conversion of campaign money to personal use. Jackson knowingly disobeyed them. He joins a rogues gallery of other disgraced Illinois political lawbreakers, including four ex-governors – Rod Blagojevich, George Ryan, Dan Walker and Otto Kerner – who also didn’t think the rules applied to them. When will it all end? When will crooked politicians no longer plague our state? When will Illinoisans no longer be a national laughingstock? Clearly, stronger laws governing ethics and transparency are needed. Those reforms are up to the Legislature and Congress.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. – U.S. Bill of Rights, First Amendment

Ramblers shooting for history, revenge AP photo
A 1-2 knockout: McIlroy, Woods lose in Match Play MARANA, Ariz. – The snow is gone from the Match Play Championship, and so are Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods. In a stunning conclusion to what already is a bizarre week on Dove Mountain, Shane Lowry of Ireland made a 4-foot par putt on the 18th hole to eliminate Rory McIlroy in the opening round Thursday of golf’s most unpredictable tournament. “It’s definitely a day I’m going to remember,” said Lowry, the third player in the past four years to beat the No. 1 seed in the opening round. Moments later, Charles Howell III finished off a fabulous round in cold conditions by defeating Woods on the 17th hole. Howell, who had not faced Woods in match play since losing to him in the third round of the 1996 U.S. Amateur, played bogey-free on a course that still had patches of snow and ice after being cleared Thursday morning. – Wire report

S. Africa police replace top Pistorius investigator PRETORIA, South Africa – South African police appointed a new chief investigator Thursday in the Oscar Pistorius murder case, replacing a veteran detective after unsettling revelations that the officer was charged with seven counts of attempted murder. The sensational twist in the state’s troubled investigation fueled growing public fascination with the case against the double-amputee Olympian, who is charged with premeditated murder in the Valentine’s Day slaying of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.

CUBS SPRING TRAINING NOTES
NBA
Garza uses caution after lat strain By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO
Next
mmontemurro@shawmedia.com MESA, Ariz. – Cubs pitcher Matt Garza’s only focus is being ready for the season. Garza was ahead of schedule as he works back from a season-ending stress reaction in his right elbow, but a mild lat strain has disrupted his plans. Garza’s main goal still is to be ready for the start of Matt Garza the season, even if that means missing opportunities to pitch during spring training. “I’m not worried about the spring starts,” Garza said. “I’m more concerned about being prepared for opening week, Opening Day. Right now, if I stay on my pace and stay patient and let it heal, I’ll be fine. I’ll be ready.” Garza said his lat strain is
vs. L.A. Angels (ss), 2:05 p.m. Saturday, AM-720 getting better every day, though it’s been a slow process. He conceded that “maybe I came out too strong, too fast” and this injury is his body’s way of telling him to slow down. “Some people say I shouldn’t even be laughing, but it doesn’t hurt, so it’s a good thing,” Garza said. Soler power: The hype surrounding outfield prospect Jorge Soler will only grow after his spring training debut. Soler hit a solo home run on a 3-1 pitch from right-hander Nick Struck over the left-field wall in his first at-bat at HoHoKam Stadium. Granted it was only an intrasquad game, but manager Dale Sveum was impressed with Soler, who finished 1 for 2. The White team,
featuring most of the Cubs’ expected starters, beat the Blue team 7-3 in a five-inning game. “Pretty nice bat speed … took a walk,” Sveum said. “That’s the kind of stuff that’s on the radar now. There are some guys on that radar right now that could possibly be impact players someday. “It’s just nice seeing these guys play, because we’ve all come across tools guys and bat speed and all that and it never seems to pan out.” Shortstop Javier Baez struggled a little in his debut, finishing 0 for 2 with a strikeout and a bobble in the field that prevented him from turning a double play. But third baseman Junior Lake also stood out with a stand-up triple off the centerfield wall and also lined out hard to shortstop. Senior vice president of scouting and development Jason McLeod said that right now, he expects Soler and Baez to start at Class-A Daytona
while Lake likely will begin the year at Triple-A Iowa. “We generally have an idea of where they’re going to start the year,” McLeod said. “You never try to let [spring training performance] dictate too much.” Nickedup: Cubsthirdbasemen have caught the injury bug. Ian Stewart and Josh Vitters both suffered slight left quad strains Thursday and are considered day to day. Sveum said Stewart appeared to have pulled his quad when he slipped out of the batter’s box on his first-inning double. Stewart initially thought it was a cramp, but Sveum wanted to be cautious and pulled him from the game.

ILLINOIS 64, PENN STATE 59
Richardson leads Illinois By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press CHAMPAIGN – D.J. Richardson started slow Thursday but finished with 18 points and hit a pair of key free throws late in Illinois’ ugly 64-59 win over Penn State. The win was the fifth straight for Illinois (20-8, 7-7 Big Ten). But facing a team that hadn’t won since late December, it didn’t come easy. Jermaine Marshall’s 3-pointer brought Penn State within 62-59 with 5 seconds left. Richardson then sank a pair of free throws that sealed the win. Penn State (8-18, 0-14) has lost 14 straight. Marshall led the Nittany Lions with 20 points. Travis Ross and Kevin Montminy fouled out late. Illinois entered the game on a hot streak that included wins over No. 1 Indiana and thenNo. 18 Minnesota. The victories resurrected Illini hopes of

a NCAA tournament spot after a midseason slump. On Thursday, every Penn State rally – often accompanied by a cold stretch from Illinois – threatened to undo much of the good of those wins. Free throws finally sealed the win. The Nittany Lions committed 31 fouls and sent the Illini to the line 36 times. Illinois made 23. Illinois and Penn State have a history of ugly basketball – the Nittany Lions won a 38-33 barn-burner in Champaign in 2009 – and of playing on nights when the weather makes many fans think twice.

Privately, Derrick should tell Reggie to zip it. All of this reminded me of a story by one of my favorite humorists and writers, David Sedaris. He is the youngest of six children, and he writes frequently about his family. “As children, we’d been assigned certain roles – leader, bum, troublemaker, [floozy],” Sedaris once wrote. “Titles that effectively told us who we were.” As years passed, Sedaris and his siblings moved on. They established their own lives. But whenever they gathered as a family, everyone would revert to their old roles. “I might reinvent myself to strangers,” Sedaris wrote. “But to this day, as far as my family is concerned, I’m still the one most likely to set your house on fire.” In his family, Rose always has been the quiet one. The follower. The one to protect. But he’s a grown man now. He’s a father. He’s one of the best in the world at his profession. He doesn’t need his older brother to meddle with his employer. We all know that to be true. It’s time for Reggie Rose to realize it, too.

turnovers in the 1st half • bulls Continued from page B1 his older brother Reggie blasted the organization in an ESPNChicago.com article for not making a move before Thursday’s trade deadline. Things didn’t get much better for the Bulls once the game started. Nate Robinson scored 14 points, Carlos Boozer had 12 points and 11 rebounds and Joakim Noah added 11 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, but he also committed four of the Bulls’ season-high 27 turnovers. The Bulls particularly were bad in the first half, coughing it up 17 times as the Heat built a 4535 lead, and they came up short after winning at Miami last month. This time, the Heat took control in the second quarter, scoring 13 straight points during a 41⁄2-minute stretch to turn a two-point deficit into an 11-point advantage even though James was on the bench for much of the run. It started after a soaring righthanded dunk by Taj Gibson to give the Bulls a 28-26 lead with 8:16 remaining. Allen answered with a driving layup, Wade followed with two jumpers and the Bulls turned it over five times as the Heat built a 39-28 lead. Marco Belinelli ended the scoring drought for the Bulls with a free throw, and Boozer then nailed a jumper after Bosh buried a 20-footer. But it was a rough night all around for the Bulls, even before they took to the court.

Ace or near ace, Sale ready to start for Sox the assoCiateD Press GLENDALE, Ariz. – White Sox left-hander Chris Sale is more than ready for this season. He went to the All-Star game last year and pitched 192 innings. He finished sixth in the Cy Young Award voting after going 17-8 with a 3.05 ERA. When he spoke up about a tender elbow, the Sox acted swiftly by moving him to the bullpen. Sale talked his way back into the rotation. Now, he’s ready to start up again. “I can’t wait,” Sale said. “After training this offseason and coming into spring training knowing how my body feels and having one more year of experience under my belt makes it exciting. I was talking to my agent and he was reminding me that this is my first year of doing the same thing as the last year. “I’ve never really had two years of the same thing. It’s
Next vs. L.A. Dodgers, 2:05 p.m. Saturday, AM-670 fun, it’s exciting and I’m ready to go,” he said. Manager Robin Ventura hasn’t announced his Opening Day starter, but Sale is a solid bet to get the nod over former Cy Young winner Jake Peavy, the veteran leader of the staff. Sale has endorsed Peavy as the choice, and vice versa. “That would be crazy. I would be speechless if it came to that,” said Sale, who’ll turn 24 two days before the opener. “But as I’ve said before, if anyone deserves that, it’s Peavy. He’s the leader of the team and our pitching staff and he has the resumé to do it. We all have our faith and trust in him and he’s our guy.” Peavy has a different take on the subject.

Sale pitched only 101⁄3 innings in the minors before joining the Sox to make 21 relief appearances that season. He pitched out of the bullpen his first full year in the majors in 2011 before making the big step
to full-time starter last season. Sale’s ERA was 4.03 in the second half of the season after posting a 2.19 ERA in the first. “I felt like I learned a lot last year, not just about myself but about baseball and the game in general,” Sale said. “I know how my body feels and I have a better feel for situations and different things that come up during ballgames. It’s a learning experience.” Sale fell one start short of 30 and eight innings shy of 200, both reasonable goals for his second season as a starter. Because of his 6-foot-6 frame, delivery and the minor elbow issue last season, Sale is viewed as a pitcher who might break down. But he has been vigilant about sticking to his strength and flexibility program, and has emphasized flexibility over strength in his offseason conditioning routine. He shrugs off suggestions he’s not built for the long haul. “I don’t think about going out
there and blowing my arm up or anything like that,” Sale said. “Obviously, it’s a long season and you’re throwing a lot. You have to make sure everything is intact and moving right. Pay attention to your body and know what’s going on and how it feels on a given day and know when enough is enough and when you can throw some more.” Sale took an extra three weeks to a month off from his normal offseason throwing routine to refresh his arm. He also gained 15 pounds, though it’s not that noticeable. “I felt strong at the beginning of last year and through the season and I kind of fell off at the end,” he said. “That’s my focus, toward the back end of the season. You want to get off on the right foot but everybody knows it’s not how you start but how you finish and that’s the most important part of this game, finishing strong. And that’s what I plan to do.”
Both teams enjoying banner seasons • royals Continued from page B1 Those tall players are highprofile South Sudanese transfer students Akim Nyang, Makur Puou and Mangisto Deng, all standing above 6-foot-7. In their first season with Mooseheart, they’ve helped the Ramblers turn around a program that hasn’t had much success on the court. Mooseheart won a district title in 1964 but never has won what now is called a regional championship. “I don’t know, culturally, if they understand what we’re into,” Mooseheart coach Ron Ahrens said. “I tell them, you know what, 100 years we’ve been at Mooseheart, we want
to win a regional title. I don’t know if they necessarily understand. They’re just going to go out and play basketball.” Second-seeded Mooseheart (23-5) and top-seeded H-BR (24-4) both are enjoying banner seasons, with some intertwined history. H-BR reached out to the IHSA to question the agency that placed Nyang, Puou and Deng at Mooseheart, and the IHSA temporarily stripped the trio’s eligibility before the IHSA Board of Directors voted to overturn the decision and allow the boys – ranging in height from 6-7 to 7-1 – to compete. That happened in mid-December, less than a week after the Royals closed the game on a 13-0 run to rally past Mooseheart. In the first meeting with
H-BR, senior guard Jared Madden burned Mooseheart in the fourth quarter and a flurry of late turnovers exposed Mooseheart’s ball-handling vulnerabilities under duress. Despite Mooseheart’s massive size advantage, Ahrens knows playing a wellschooled, veteran team that can shoot will be a huge challenge. “They’re the best in our area,” Ahrens said after Mooseheart’s 45-30 win against Westminster Christian in Wednesday’s semifinal. “I just counted it up tonight, they have 11 seniors, I thought it was nine. They play good team basketball together, they play hard.”

Continued from page B1 After finishing 39th in the event last year, Schultz has his eyes on a top-12 finish this weekend. He’ll have to drop his time significantly, but he knows that with well-timed turns and a full taper, that’s possible. “I can definitely go faster at state,” Schultz said. “I can definitely drop when I’m fully tapered. I think I can. [At sec-
tionals], I definitely think I could have gone faster.” The pair are seeded 40th and 42nd for today’s preliminary race, so they most likely will line up in the same heat once again. Schultz and Bjork won’t be alone when they head to Winnetka today. Schultz also qualified in the 200 medley relay, along with freshman Daniel Hein, senior Marc Dubrick and sophomore Dylan Powers Hein will be a champion-
ship contender in the 100 butterfly, where he’s seeded third, and the 100 backstroke, where he’s seeded 12th. After qualifying along with only one teammate, senior Kei Ishimaru, last year, Schultz hopes the large DeKalb-Sycamore contingent can feed off of each other. “Last year it was just me and Kei, so it was a little bit lonely,” Schultz said. “This is going to be a good year, I can feel it.”

Pastor Amy Fallon places her hand on the head of Northern Illinois University senior Jeanette Fernandez after spreading ash on her forehead outside for Ash Wednesday on Feb. 13. Fallon is the new pastor at NIU’s Grace Place at the corner of Normal Road and Lucinda Avenue in DeKalb.
Campus Life NIU’s Grace Place welcomes new pastor By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com
A
my Fallon is a long way from the Atlantic Ocean, but she already feels right
at home in DeKalb. The native New Englander was officially installed as the pastor of Northern Illinois University’s Grace Place this week after starting her service there at the beginning of the semester. Her 14-year career as a pastor has mostly been spent in the northeast, where she has lived for 47 of the 50 years of her life. But she said the move to DeKalb is a blessing as it gives her an opportunity to return to campus ministry – an experience she greatly enjoyed at the University of Connecticut.
Know more Grace Place @ Northern Illinois University Worship: 9 p.m. Wednesdays Address: 401 Normal Road, DeKalb Phone: 815-756-7700 Website: www.graceplaceniu.com
Grace Place, which is joint ministry supported by Evangelical Lutheran Church of America and the Episcopal Church, seemed like a perfect fit, Fallon said, because of her Episcopalian background and desire to reach all people. The new pastor sat down with the Daily Chronicle to discuss some of her background and goals.
What is it about campus ministry that excites you? Before I came here I was a pastor at a parish in northwest Ohio and it was great. But campus ministry is near and dear to my heart and my true calling. Young adults are making fundamental decisions that will help shape the rest of their lives and I find it tremendously exciting to be a part of that discussion.
Are you focused more on reaching students with a faith background or people who may never have been exposed to religion? I think it’s a combination of both. I’ve had students who have grown up in the tradition, but sometimes there is an inclination to break away from that habit of going to church when they come to college. And I’ve also had students
who have no background with religion and come and give it a try. The thing is students graduate, so every four or five years you have an entirely new congregation. Starting from scratch can be a creative time, but exhausting.
What are some of the short-term goals you have for Grace Place? I think just letting people know we’re here again is important. [Grace Place] has been going through a transition period for the past 18 months or so and I think some of that community presence has been lost. We’re in a prime location here on the corner of Normal and Lucinda right across the street from the student center. We want people who probably walk past here five or six times a day to know who we are and that they’re welcomed.
How has your first month and a half been here? Everyone has been very welcoming and engaging and that is true at all levels of the university from the faculty to the students. I think of myself as called to serve the entire university community. While my main focus is students, I am here for everyone. I was telling my colleagues ‘I may have the world’s smallest parish, but I have one of the biggest densities.’ Grace Place holds services every Wednesday at 9 p.m., which is preceded by a community dinner starting at 7 p.m. There are student-led Bible study groups that meet regularly and students also are invited to study between classes, hang out or even play the piano. “People should drop by,” Fallon said. “I’m here a lot.”

Fraud investigator mortified by wife’s arrest Dear Abby: My wife of six years was recently arrested for wire fraud, involving the receipt of unemployment benefits. She was receiving money when she should not have been. I knew she had applied for benefits since she was laid off; however, I was not aware that she was falsifying documents in order to receive the benefits. I feel hurt, betrayed and offended. I am a retired law enforcement officer and currently an independent fraud investigator. Our relationship had been on the rocks for some time prior to this humiliating event. How do I handle this mess? – Betrayed in Florida Dear Betrayed: The first thing to do is realize that your wife’s indiscretions are a reflection only on her character, not yours. Then let the law take its course,
DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips and once you have cooled off, decide rationally if you want to continue a marriage that has been “on the rocks for some time.” Dear Abby: Before my daughter turned 18, she followed the court’s visitation specifics, as her brother does. Now that she’s 18, she doesn’t call or come over at all. She won’t answer phone calls, so I text her. She’ll respond with one-word answers – “yes,” “no,” “maybe.” It doesn’t bother me that she chooses to live this way. She’s an adult. I sent her money for her birthday. She didn’t acknowledge it. If I text invitations to her, I still don’t hear from her.
She doesn’t go to college, doesn’t drive, doesn’t have a job and lives off her enabling mother. According to her brother, she plays video games all night and sleeps all day. After her birthday silence, should I continue sending her money for occasions? The lack of respect makes me think not, but my love for her says I should. Is there a lesson to be taught, or do I continue dropping a check in the mail twice a year? The money is insignificant. Learning respect, I believe, is important. – Dad in Battle Creek, Mich. Dear Dad: It doesn’t bother you that your daughter chooses to live this way? That she doesn’t work, doesn’t go to school, plays video games all night and sleeps all day? Is she on drugs? Suffering from severe depression? Your daughter’s behav-
ior is not normal. You have described a young woman in serious need of counseling to bring her back to reality. If you love your daughter, forget the etiquette lesson and help her to get the psychological help she needs. Dear Abby: When I was 17, I was checked into a psychiatric hospital for severe depression and a suicide attempt. While I was there I met “Jim,” a boy who was there for the same reasons. To make a long story short, we kept in touch and now we’re dating. We benefitted from the experience and are good for each other. The catch is that he lives more than an hour away from me. We see each other frequently, but friends often ask how we met and we don’t know how to answer the question. Generally, we say something vague about how
we have known each other for a long time, but some people continue to press. Neither of us wants to advertise that we spent time in a psych ward. How can we gracefully sidestep the question? – Dodging The Question in The U.S.A. Dear Dodging: It is difficult to sidestep a question that is asked so frequently in the course of conversation – especially if a couple seems compatible. Because you would rather not be specific, just say you met in a teen counseling group a few years ago. It’s the truth – you were being counseled.

Fat cell hormones damage body throughout Dear Dr. K: Why is abdominal fat worse for your health than fat around the hips and thighs? Dear Reader: When it comes to body fat, location counts. Fat above the waist (the “apple” shape) is much more dangerous than fat in the butt and thighs (the “pear” shape). In most people, about 90 percent of body fat lies in a layer just beneath the skin. The remaining 10 percent – called visceral fat – lies out of reach, deep within your abdomen. It’s found in the spaces surrounding your liver, intestines and other organs. It’s also stored in a flap of tissue that lies under your stomach muscles. Visceral fat is a key player in a variety of health
ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff problems, including cardiovascular disease, dementia, asthma, and breast and colorectal cancer. What makes visceral fat so dangerous? Research over the past 20 years has completely changed our understanding of what fat is. We’ve always known that fat is composed of billions of cells called fat cells. We used to think that fat was just a layer of insulation to keep heat inside our bodies during cold weather. We didn’t think that fat, and fat cells, really did anything
more than provide insulation. However, we’ve discovered that fat cells – particularly fat cells inside the abdomen (visceral fat)• are little hormone factories. They are constantly producing substances that get into the blood and travel to other parts of the body, where they can have profound effects. For example, some of the hormones produced by fat cells affect your appetite, your metabolism, even your blood pressure. Researchers at Harvard have discovered that visceral fat secretes a molecule that increases insulin resistance (raising the risk of Type 2 diabetes). In addition, visceral fat cells make certain proteins that trigger low-level
inflammation. This is a risk factor for heart disease. You can estimate your visceral fat by measuring your waist circumference. (I’ve put an illustration explaining how to do this on my website.) Ideally, waist circumference should be less than 35 inches for women and less than 40 inches for men. To keep visceral fat at bay: • Keep moving. Exercise can help you reduce your waist circumference, lose visceral fat and gain muscle mass. Engage in at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity most days. • Eat right. Choose a balanced diet that helps you achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Avoid
products that encourage belly fat, including trans fats and fructose-sweetened foods and beverages. • Don’t smoke. The more you smoke, the more likely you are to store fat in your abdomen rather than on your hips and thighs. • Forget the quick fix. Liposuction doesn’t reach inside the abdominal wall to your visceral fat. You may change your appearance with liposuction, but you won’t improve your health.

How to overcome shyness one day at a time Dr. Wallace: I am a faithful reader of your column. I almost always agree with what you say, which is why I’m asking my question. I would like to know how you overcome shyness. I am very shy and would like to break away from this condition. I read in one of your letters about how to talk to a shy person, but can you tell me how to talk when you ARE a shy person? I’m upset that I have this problem, and I get told all the time that I should change my ways, but I can’t. I would appreciate any thoughts on
’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace how to overcome shyness! – Nameless, Boston, Mass. Nameless: Shyness stems from a lack of self-esteem. Shy people feel inferior to others and instinctively avoid personal interaction. They fear failure so much that they clam up rather than risk making a mistake. And once this kind of behavior becomes entrenched, they la-
8ASTROGRAPH By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association
TODAY – In the year ahead, you’ll be attracted to strong, progressive thinkers in tune with the times. Most of your closest new friends will be of this sort. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Lounging in a cozy easy chair could have a strong appeal for you, yet if you fail to be at least a tad productive, you’re likely to feel guilty for wasting all that valuable time. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Even though you won’t be putting on any pretenses, the persona you present is likely to be more dramatic than usual. Others will be drawn to you for this reason. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You can’t help but succeed in situations where you are motivated to do good things and bring joy to others. All you want to do is help make people happy. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You’re not going to find a better day to promote a cause in which you truly believe. Even those who usually give you a hard time will succumb to your appeal. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – If you’re prepared to give in order to get, most of your material affairs should work out to your benefit. Some of your biggest obstacles may be taken out of the picture. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – It isn’t likely that you will shy away from any challenges. In fact, you’ll welcome situations that are much too trying for others. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – You’ll get far more out of being helpful than merely feathering your own nest. Good deeds will be appreciated and rewarded. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – There’s no reason why you shouldn’t be hopeful regarding the outcome of events, because you’re presently in a lucky cycle. Being optimistic and positive helps a lot. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – You’re not likely to seek out competition, but you’ll not duck any either. Should a strong competitor challenge you, you’ll be a tough cookie to contend with. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – If you view things from a positive perspective, your faith will work wonders. Events will turn out the way you envision them, if your belief is strong enough. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Joint ventures hold far more promise for you than independent endeavors at this time. However, this is true only if you’re teamed up with someone of equal talent who has a similar work ethic. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Moderation is the key to success, so do your best to play everything down the middle. For best results, don’t be too aggressive or too passive.
bel themselves as anti-social and expect to be tongue-tied in social situations. Their prison-like isolation becomes “normal.” But shyness can be overcome! It may not disappear overnight, but it can disappear. To overcome shyness, it is important to take one day at a time. See each day as an opportunity to experiment. Begin with eye contact. In social situations, when you must react to another individual, look the person squarely in the eye. Most shy people hang their head down

or look away, even when they’re talking. Next, take a deep breath if necessary and relax. Ask the other person questions. Most people enjoy answering them, and it gives you a chance to respond and keep the conversation going. Keep a smile on your face as much as possible. Again, people enjoy being with someone who is pleasant and responsive. A smile puts others at their ease. Your determination to overcome your shyness is the very first step in doing
so. Don’t get discouraged and don’t expect to become glib and perfectly poised in a day, a week or a month. Just keep practicing every day to become more social and gradually you will find self-confidence. Write to me again soon, and let me know your progress.

8CROSSWORD
BRIDGE Phillip Alder
Counting points will lead the way Louis Nizer, a noted trial lawyer who died in 1994, said, “When a man points a finger at someone else, he should remember that four of his fingers are pointing at himself.” In bridge, points – those for high cards – are very important. If it helps, count points on your fingers under the table, where no one else can see. Or use your fingers and toes! Often, tracking high-card points will be invaluable for finding the right play. In this deal, how should East plan the defense against four spades after West leads the diamond jack? South’s advance of one spade showed zero to 8 points. (With 9 to 11, he would have jumped to two spades, and with 12 or more, he would have cue-bid two diamonds.) When North raised to two spades, he was saying that game was still possible. So he was promising 18 or 19 points. Now South, with six points and a fifth trump, was happy to jump to game. East could see three tricks: the spade king and two diamonds. But the bidding suggested that South would have the heart king and at least one of the major-suit queens. If South had the spade queen, East had to hope his side would get a third-round heart trick. But if South had the heart queen, a second trump trick could be promoted. East won the first trick with the diamond queen (in case West’s jack was a singleton), cashed the diamond king, and carefully continued with the diamond six. West saw what was required, ruffing with his spade queen. Now the contract had to fail.
