By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKalb street officials are strongly discouraging motorists from parking on the street today, while Sycamore officials are more likely to ticket cars parked illegally.

Street parking makes plowing more difficult for road crews and can leave vehicles buried in snow, DeKalb street operations chief Mark Espy

Sycamore boy’s friends, family honor his life

said.

The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for today. The area is expected to get 7 to 10 inches of snow, with the heaviest amount arriving from late morning through early evening.

With snow accumulation projected to be between 1 inch and 1.5 inches an hour, National Weather Service officials and NIU staff meteorologist Gilbert Sebenste said travel would be

extremely dangerous during the warning.

“The travel conditions will be very difficult from the late morning on,” Sebenste said.

The storm warning persuaded some organizations to announce cancellations or closures. The DeKalb Clinic, 1850 Gateway Drive, Sycamore, will be closed today, and the Egyptian Theatre, 135 N. Second St., DeKalb, has postponed its showing of “Singin’ in the

Rain” to March 21.

If a snow emergency is declared, DeKalb officials could officially ban street parking, Espy said. That measure would apply to all streets, not just the designated snow routes where parking is prohibited when snowfall reaches two inches or more.

While Sycamore is not considering a similar ban, Public Works Director Fred Busse said the city is more prone to

ticket and tow drivers who are parked illegally.

Sebenste did offer a glimmer of good news. After this evening, conditions will improve with cold but dry weather for the rest of the week and a little warmer weather next week, he said. But the season isn’t over.

“We have seen heavy snow in April, and I don’t want to jinx us,” Sebenste said. “But once we get past mid-March, it is harder to get heavy snow.”

NIU’S international TREASuRE

By STEPHANIE HICKMAN shickman@shawmedia.com ROCHELLE – Matthew Ranken’s older brother will always remember the 11year-old Sycamore boy swiping Snickers candy bars from their father’s lunch pail, and hiding under the bed to eat them.

The Rev. Bill Landis, senior pastor at Sycamore United Methodist Church, shared 14-year-old Aaron Ranken’s memory during Matthew Ranken’s fu- Matthew neral Monday, which was Ranken held at the First Presbyterian Church in Rochelle. Matthew Ranken, a fifth-grader at North Elementary School in Sycamore, died Wednesday after a car crash on Route 64 in Kane County.

“Matthew will be missed,” Landis said.

As family friends and classmates’ parents continued efforts to support the family, the crash remained under investigation Monday. The reconstruction efforts are expected to take weeks, said Kane County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Pat Gengler.

Republicans unveil funding measure

By ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Republicans controlling the House moved Monday to ease a crunch in Pentagon readiness while limiting the pain felt by such agencies as the FBI and the Border Patrol from the across-the-board spending cuts that are just starting to take effect.

The effort is part of a huge spending measure that would fund day-to-day federal operations through September – and head off a potential government shutdown later this month.

The measure would leave in place automatic cuts of 5 percent to domestic agencies and 7.8 percent to the Pentagon ordered by President Barack Obama Friday night after months of battling with Republicans over the budget. But the House Republicans’ legislation would award the Defense and Veterans Affairs departments their detailed 2013 budgets, giving those agencies more flexibility on where money is spent, while other agencies would be frozen at 2012 levels – and then bear the acrossthe-board cuts.

Center for Southeast Asian Studies celebrates 50 years

By JEFF ENGELHARDT

On the Web

jengelhardt@shawmedia.com DeKALB – It’s not organized crime, but there is a “mafia” of Huskies in the Indonesian government thanks to Northern Illinois University’s Center for Southeast Asian Studies.

For 50 years, NIU’s Center for Southeast Asian Studies has produced ambassadors, university presidents and parliamentarians throughout countries such as Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia while also inspiring American students to discover the culture, history and languages of the region.

“We like to joke that we have the NIU mafia in Southeast Asia,” said Clark Neher, who spent 31 years as a professor with the center. “So many of the students who came here have risen to the top of their country.”

Neher, a retired political science professor who started with the center in 1969, was an integral part of elevating the center to the global prominence it now receives as one of only seven national resource centers for Southeast Asia in the country.

The center started as a resource for the country’s first

Peace Corps training program for Southeast Asia volunteers at NIU, focusing on teaching languages of the region. Now the program has more than

30 faculty members from a variety of disciplines teaching languages, economics, art, history and culture to students from all backgrounds.

“When you combine a huge library, a very large faculty and more Southeast Asian languages taught than any other university in the country, that is the essence of why our center is renowned,” Neher said.

Director Judy Ledgerwood, an anthropology professor, said the center also focuses on bringing a taste of Southeast Asia to the community, which is why the 50th anniversary celebration is focused on events spotlighting culture, history and current issues of the region.

Events included a political lecture Friday, and an art exhibit and traditional music and dance performance Saturday.

The celebration continues at 8 p.m. today at the NIU School of Music with a performance from Malaysian pop star Amirah Ali, an NIU alumna.

The event concludes at 6 p.m.

Wednesday in Cole Hall with a documentary on a Burma activist.

‘Cinderella’ senator comes back home A Shabbona farm girl named Christine Johnson has experienced a Cinderella-like story, going all the way to the Illinois State Senate and now back to her roots and old job as DeKalb County Treasurer. She was sworn in again as the county treasurer Monday.

Her journey to Springfield happened quite by accident when the incumbent veteran Sen. Brad Burzynski decided to retire mid-term, leaving the Republicans to name a replacement until the next election in two years. They chose Johnson because of her 17 years of experience as county treasurer and good credentials as a respected and knowledgeable public official.

So she entered the Senate in February 2011 as part of two minority groups – being a Republican and a female. She is proud to point out she has the distinction of being the first Northern Illinois University graduate to represent the Senate district containing her alma mater.

It could have been a lifetime political career except for one big obstacle – it was time for the 10-year redistricting and the Democrats were in control.

So they gerrymandered her district to pit her against veteran GOP lawmaker Dave Syverson of Rockford. She was not even in the newly drawn district and would have had to move from Shabbona further north if elected. But as expected, Syverson waged a vigorous campaign, using his clout and financial backing to win the primary, thus keeping his seat. He collected $129,000 for his campaign while Johnson raised $82,000.

But she has fond memories of her two years traveling back and forth to Springfield representing her constituents.

DeKALB COUNTY LIFE Barry Schrader Note to readers: Barry Schrader’s “DeKalb County Life” column will appear on the first Tuesday of each month.

“It was the opportunity of a lifetime, and I am glad I did it,” she said.

“It was awesome when I walked into the Capitol, walking up the same worn marble stairs used by many famous lawmakers over the years. It makes one realize how historic this place is.”

Johnson is not a political novice. At age 17, she volunteered on the gubernatorial campaign of Jim Thompson as she knew his two aunts in Sycamore at the time. She said she admired the way Thompson was able to work with both parties to get things done. After college she worked at Shabbona State Park and Lake in the office area. Her next move was to run for county treasurer; a post she held for 17 years and is now returning to, making her the longest serving treasurer in the county’s history.

Asked about memorable anecdotes in Springfield, she said her first day walking up to the Capitol a man arrived at the door about the same time with his hands full of materials, dropping his keys. She retrieved them for him and it turned out to be House Speaker Michael Madigan.

Then there was the time she went to a women legislators’ event at the governor’s mansion and had her briefcase and purse stolen from her car parked a block away. Fortunately, she recovered most of her belongings when they

were found in a nearby Dumpster – minus the cash.

New senators get to introduce a noncontroversial “honeymoon bill” and she chose one that defined the practice of illegal wildlife baiting, mostly for turkeys and deer. After some good-natured ribbing from colleagues it was passed and sent to the House, where it was also approved and signed into law by Gov. Pat Quinn.

Considering the role redistricting played in her primary loss, I asked about Johnson’s opinion of the process. She favors a computer-based redistricting method to avoid the political gerrymandering by the party in control. But she said a Fair Map Amendment will take 500,000 signatures just to get on the ballot. However, she is not in favor of term limits for legislators.

She mentioned she was thrilled to introduce a resolution lauding the NIU Huskies football team for again capturing the MAC championship, then paid her own way to see her alma mater play Jan. 1 in the Orange Bowl.

Any political ambitions in the future? None that she has in mind at the present time, but she is considering writing a memoir. Another possibility for her could be a political science teaching position where she can share her firsthand practical political savvy with college students at NIU or Kishwaukee College. But for now she just wants to return to the county treasurer’s office and be among friends she made there during her four terms in office.

8 TODAY’S TALKER

U.S. cardinals seek answers on dysfunction

By NICOLE WINFIELD The Associated Press VATICAN CITY – Cardinals said Monday they want to talk to Vatican managers about allegations of corruption and cronyism within the top levels of the Catholic Church before they elect the next pope, evidence that a scandal over leaked papal documents is casting a shadow over the conclave and setting up one of the most unpredictable papal elections in recent times.

The Vatican said 107 of the 115 votingage cardinals attended the first day of pre-conclave meetings, at which cardinals organize the election, discuss the problems of the church and get to know one another before voting.

The red-capped “princes” of the church took an oath of secrecy and decided to pen a letter of “greeting and gratitude” to Benedict XVI, whose resignation has thrown the church into turmoil amid a torrent of scandals inside and out of the Vatican.

“I would imagine that as we move along there will be questioning of cardinals involved in the governing of the Curia to see what they think has to be changed, and in that context anything can come up,” said U.S. Cardinal Francis George.

The Holy See’s administrative shortcomings were thrust into stark relief last year with the publication of documents stolen from Benedict’s desk that exposed the petty infighting, turf battles and allegations of corruption, nepotism and cronyism in the highest echelons of the Catholic Church.

The pope’s butler was convicted of stealing the papers and leaking them to a journalist; he eventually received a papal pardon.

The emeritus pope, meanwhile, remained holed up at the papal residence at Castel Gandolfo, his temporary retirement home while the discussions on picking his successor kick into gear in Rome.

No date has been set yet for the con-

clave and one may not be decided on officially for a few more days; the dean of the College of Cardinals has said a date won’t be finalized until all the cardinals have arrived.

Eight voting-age cardinals are still en route to Rome; some had previously scheduled speaking engagements, others were due in over the coming days, the Vatican said. Their absence, however, didn’t otherwise delay the conclave’s preparations.

Speculation has mounted that the conclave might begin around March 11, with the aim of having a new pope installed by March 17, the Sunday before Palm Sunday and the start of Holy Week.

With 115 electors, 77 votes are needed to reach the two-thirds majority to be elected pope.

Those who were in Rome prayed together Monday, chatted over coffee and took an oath to maintain “rigorous secrecy with regard to all matters in any way related to the election of the Roman Pontiff.”

8STATE BRIEFS Ill. nonprofits take lead on overhaul translation CHICAGO – Nonprofit groups and community organizations in Illinois aren’t waiting for government officials to translate information about the nation’s health overhaul into languages other than English.

In Illinois, where nearly 1.2 million residents don’t speak English well, the task of translating information about the health care overhaul has fallen, for now, to nonprofit groups and community organizations.

Illinois lagged behind California and some other states in applying for funds and does not expect to have federal money to back state government outreach efforts until later this

year.

To fill the gap, the Chicago group has worked with the Asian Health Coalition to produce fact sheets in Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and Khmer, Altman said. With help from a $10,000 grant from a foundation, the groups have distributed the fact sheets at five in-person presentations in linguistically isolated neighborhoods where many people have never heard of the Affordable Care Act or “Obamacare.”

Learjet makes safe emergency landing ST. LOUIS – A Learjet with landing gear problems circled an airport outside St. Louis for about an hour and a half

Monday before it was diverted to St. Louis-Lambert International Airport, where it safely made an emergency landing.

Eight passengers and pilot walked off the small aircraft and were shuttled away soon after. No injuries were reported, officials said.

The business-class Learjet 45 was headed from Wooster, Ohio, to St. Louis Downtown Airport in Cahokia, Ill., when it reported trouble with its landing gear just before noon CST, airport officials said. Emergency crews with fire trucks and ambulances gathered at the Cahokia airport as the plane circled overhead to burn off fuel before attempting a landing.

Then the plane was sent to the St. Louis airport, which is better prepared for an emergency landing, said Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge, director of the St. Louis airport. Cahokia is 5 miles south of St. Louis.

The aircraft’s front landing gear was bent when it touched down, but FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Cory said it did not collapse. The pilot gently steered the plane off the runway under its own power a short time after the landing.

Nonprofit PTA, for-profit rival PTO Today settle CHICAGO – The nonprofit National Parent Teacher Association – better known as

the PTA – and a for-profit rival have settled a deceptive practices lawsuit, the organizations announced in a joint statement Monday.

The iconic, 116-year-old PTA had accused the newer PTO Today of engaging in false advertising, trademark infringement and other deceptive practices in a bid to siphon members away from the older group.

The lawsuit, filed last year in federal court in Chicago, was dismissed and no money changed hands, according to the statement. It offers no detail about what PTO Today might do to allay the PTA’s concerns.

Johnson sworn in as DeKalb County treasurer

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Christine Johnson is happy to see black ink again.

After a two-year hiatus from the DeKalb County Treasurer’s Office, Johnson officially returned to her old position Monday when she was sworn into office by Judge Bill Brady at the DeKalb County Courthouse.

Johnson, who previously served in the position from 1994 to 2011, said she was excited to rejoin DeKalb County government after her experience as a state senator in Springfield,

Christine Johnson stands next to her husband, Jim, as she is sworn into the DeKalb County Treasurer’s Office Monday by Judge Bill Brady.

Newport said Johnson took the time to meet with him and pass on some of the knowledge she gained during her 17-year career.

“It’s absolutely invaluable to have people like her among us,” Newport said. “She has been a tremendous asset to all treasurers in the state.”

The Shabbona Republican was selected by her party to replace former Treasurer Mark Todd after he announced his resignation in December. The 59-year-old said her first goals are to work through the annual audit process and begin the senior tax deferral program.

where budget management failed to meet the standards to which she was accustomed in DeKalb County.

“DeKalb County government is unique in Illinois,” Johnson told a crowd of county officials at the ceremony. “We pay our bills on time, and we prepare our budget with black ink instead of red ink.”

Johnson’sreturnwasnotonly celebrated by DeKalb County officials but also by other county treasurers as well. Curtis Newport, Boone County treasurer, said Johnson played an integral role in his career when he took office five years ago.

Woman sentenced to 4 years Sycamore to raise water and sewer rates for burglary of DeKalb home

By STEPHANIE HICKMAN

shickman@shawmedia.com

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – A Chicago woman was sentenced to four years in prison Monday for an arranged sexual encounter that turned into a burglary.

Abigail Flores, 24, of the 300 block of North Central Avenue in Chicago, pleaded guilty Monday to a March 2012 residential burglary in exchange for prosecutors dropping charges of Abigail Flores prostitution and home invasion. Flores received credit for 177 days, or about six months, of time served toward her four-year prison sentence.

If convicted of the most serious charge she originally faced, Flores would have faced between six and 30 years in prison; probation would not have been an option.

SYCAMORE – Residents will see an increase in their utility bills after the Sycamore City Council adopted two ordinances Monday to increase both water and sewer user fees.

The ordinances, which go into effect May 1, were both passed unanimously by the council after discussing different options for bridging the gap between revenues and expenditures for both the water and sewer funds at the past two meetings.

The average household will pay about $1.07 more a month in water fees, or $2.14 a bimonthly billing period. Residents also will see an increase in their monthly sewer bills by about $0.77 a month, or $1.54 a bimonthly billing period.

“It’s a reasonable approach,”

Flores was charged with residential burglary after a March 14 incident in which police said she had arranged to have sex with a DeKalb resident at his Yorkshire Drive home in exchange for money.

But when Flores arrived at the home, she declined to have sex and let others into the home, authorities said. Flores and those with her then punched the man in the face and used tape to restrain him before taking his wallet, keys and phone, authorities said.

Two others have pleaded guilty to residential burglary in connection with the same incident. Tyreese Cox, 20, of the 900 block of North Avenue in Aurora, was sentenced to four years in prison in December. Police said Fredrick Brooks, 21, of the 4500 block of North Magnolia Avenue in Chicago, helped plan the attack. He was sentenced to eight years in prison.

Sycamore Mayor Ken Mundy said.

The gradual increase of water user fees over the next five years will help offset the nearly $273,000 water fund deficit, due in large part to radium removal costs estimated at $250,000 for fiscal 2014.

As for the city’s sewer fund, the $179,000 deficit is expected to decrease once it retires some debt service over the next three years.

However, the continuous expansion of the wastewater treatment plant on North Cross Street still will require the city to borrow funds. Sycamore City Manager Brian Gregory said the annual debt service will be less than what will be retired.

To make up the rest of the deficit, Gregory proposed a one-time 3 percent increase of all the sewer user fees, which the council approved.

Mundy said it’s important to remember both the water and sewer funds are enterprise funds within the city, meaning they must support themselves.

Gregory also presented the city’s preliminary three-year Capital Improvement Program at Monday’s meeting. In the plan, Gregory highlighted more than $294,000 in departmental capital expenditures that are planned, which mostly will go toward city vehicle and equipment improvements, as well as nearly $2.8 million for the city’s annual street maintenance program. Gregory said these expenditures were necessary.

“It’s not a want list,” he said.

“It’s a need list.”

Mundy said he agreed with the plan.

“It’s not as much as we want to do,” he said. “But we have to live within our means.”

Study: No quick savings from workplace wellness The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Your bosses want you to eat your broccoli, hit the treadmill and pledge you’ll never puff on a cigarette. But a new study raises doubts that workplace wellness programs save the company money.

In what’s being called the most rigorous look yet inside the wellness trend, independent researchers tracked the program at a major St. Louis hospital system for two years.

Hospitalizations for employees and family members dropped dramatically, by 41 percent overall for six major conditions. But increased outpatient costs erased those savings.

The study in Monday’s issue of the journal Health Affairs has implications for a debate now taking place at companies around the country: How much pressure can you put on workers to quit smoking, lose weight, and get exercise before it turns into unwelcome meddling, or worse, a slippery slope toward a new kind of health discrimination?

Wellness programs started out offering gym memberships and modest cash rewards for participating in a health assessment focused on changing bad habits. But employers have been upping the ante, linking the programs to insurance discounts or penalties that can add up to hundreds of dollars.

Most major companies now have wellness programs, and smaller firms are signing up. President Barack Obama’s health overhaul law allows employers to expand rewards and penalties, provided workers are

BERTIL A. LARSON Born: Aug. 24, 1926, in Chicago, Ill. Died: March 3, 2013, in DeKalb, Ill. DeKALB – Bertil August Larson, 86, of DeKalb, Ill., died Sunday, March 3, 2013, at Pine Acres Rehab & Living Center, DeKalb.

Born Aug. 24, 1926, in Chicago, the son of Lars A. and Helen J. (Johnson) Larson, Bert married Marian E. Nordeen on May 19, 1951, at First Lutheran Church, DeKalb.

Bertil was a graduate of Malden High School and Rockford School of Business College. He moved to DeKalb in 1947. He was employed as an accountant by Wurlitzer Company from 1955 to 1987, Whirlpool Corp. in St. Charles and Baptist Retirement Home in Maywood.

Bert was a veteran of the U.S. Navy’s Seabees, having served during World War II as a Battalion Storekeeper Second Class. He was a member of American Legion Post 66 and received his 63-year award in 2010.

Bertil was an active member of First Lutheran Church, DeKalb. He was comptroller of the church from 1958 to 2003, church council member and ex-official member of the church council. He was an officer of Lutheran Brotherhood DeKalb County Branch 8823. He was a life member of Friends of Barb City Manor and performed banking services for the residents, and served on the Travel Committee. He also was a member of DeKalb County Farm Bureau, DeKalb YMCA Men’s Club and Dr. O’Connell’s Public Speak-

also given a path to address lifestyle issues that could undermine their health.

“The immediate payback in terms of cost is probably not going to be there,” said economist Gautam Gowrisankaran of the University of Arizona at Tucson, lead author of the study. But he noted there could be other benefits not directly measured in the study, such as reduced absenteeism and higher productivity.

And there’s also a risk. “It’s definitely true that there is a downside,” Gowrisankaran said. “You are going to be charging people different rates based on their wellness behavior, and that could limit their ability to buy health insurance.”

Obama’s law forbids insurers from charging more if you get sick.

But wellness incentives could mean you’d be penalized for the questionable choices that might get you sick.

Some previous studies have shown savings from wellness programs, while others found little change or even higher spending.

Steven Noeldner, an expert with the Mercer benefits consulting firm says well-designed programs generally show a positive return of about 2 percent by the third year.

Gary Claxton of the Kaiser Family Foundation, which produces a widely-cited annual survey of workplace health plans, says the financial impact is difficult to measure.

“A lot of employers think it’s the right thing to do and they’re not so much interested in measuring,” said Claxton.

ing and Discussion Club.

His hobby was photography. He enjoyed going on long-distance domestic tours with various organizations, and also international trips, such as Scandinavia, Europe, England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

He is survived by his wife, Marian; children, Marvin (Karen) Larson of DeKalb and Barbara (Randy) Queen of Altamonte Springs, Fla.; grandchildren, Katie and Matthew Larson of DeKalb and Sarah Szydlowski of Aurora; in-laws, Elden Newton of DeKalb and Florence Larson of Orlando, Fla.; and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, and siblings, Ethel Newton in January and Lawrence Larson.

The funeral service will be at 1 p.m.

Friday, March 8, at First Lutheran Church, 324 N. Third St., DeKalb, with the Rev. Dr. Janet Hunt officiating.

Burial will follow at Fairview Park Cemetery, DeKalb, with full military honors by a DeKalb County Honor Guard. Visitation will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday at the church.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to the Bertil A. Larson Memorial Fund, sent in care of Anderson Funeral Home, P.O. Box 605, 2011 S. Fourth St., DeKalb, IL 60115.

John Wentworth Cancer Center opens in Sandwich

By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com

Rob Winner — rwinner@shawmedia.com

Dr. Kevin Khater stands near a linear particle accelerator at the newly opened John Wentworth Cancer Center in Sandwich.

SANDWICH – Kevin Khater didn’t want to become another cog in the machine.

The doctor of radiation oncology said he decided early in his career to focus on rural cancer care.

“By me focusing on rural cancer care, I feel like I do touch people’s lives,” Khater said.

It’s to that end that he’s expanded his private practice to open the John Wentworth Cancer Center – also known as SKAN LLC - Radiation Oncology – in Sandwich.

Unlike a doctor in a large hospital or university setting, Khater said he feels more accountable by practicing directly in the community.

“I enjoy it. What I found is working in rural cancer care – if I do a

March sporting events will generate more than $250,000 The DeKalb County Convention and Visitors Bureau is proud to help welcome the 4,000 to 5,000 visitors who will travel to the area for the Illinois Elementary School Association Boys State Wrestling Championship on Friday and Saturday at Northern Illinois University’s Convocation Center.

IESA Executive Director Steve Endsley has been working with our bureau, tournament manager Arch Richoz and the Convocation Center staff to plan the event since last spring, when the group’s board of directors voted to extend its contract with NIU to host the championships through 2018.

“We sincerely appreciate the working relationship we have with NIU and the Convocation Center,” Endsley said.

“The Convocation Center is a beautiful facility that allows our wrestlers, coaches, parents and fans to have a great experience when attending our state wrestling finals.”

On Thursday, the IESA officials will arrive to work with the 150-plus DeKalb Wrestling Club volunteers led

by Richoz, and the Convocation staff to prepare for the event.

More than 450 hotel rooms have already been booked to accommodate the competitors, coaches, officials, families and fans during this eagerly anticipated annual event.

Tickets cost $10 for adults and $5 for students in kindergarten through eighth grade.

They will be on sale from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Convocation Center. Parking costs $5.

IHSA Basketball Supersectionals IHSA Basketball Supersectionals will return to the NIU Convocation Center tonight and March 12. Approximately 8,000 visitors will come to see the Class 1A and 2A teams compete at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. today. Supersectionals for Class 3A and 4A teams will be held March 12. General admission tickets cost $10 and parking costs $5.

Kish Family YMCA hosts 70 swim teams The DCCVB also is happy to welcome back the IL/

DCCVB VIEW Debbie Armstrong MO Swim Meet on March 15 through 17. We’ve been working with Brian Bickner at the Kishwaukee Family YMCA to block hotel rooms for the officials, swimmers and their families for the past three months. More than 70 teams and approximately 4,000 visitors will travel to the area to cheer on their swimmers.

The DCCVB provides all guests with a free DeKalb County Visitor Guide and coupon book to help make their visit more enjoyable.

All of the sporting events combined will generate more than $250,000 for the area from hotel nights, dining, shopping and gasoline.

IHSA Destination DeKalb update We are approximately 270 days from hosting our first IHSA state football championships at NIU’s Huskie Stadium. One of the most prestigious and well-attended events hosted by the IHSA,

the football championships will generate an estimated economic impact of $500,000 to $800,000 while the publicity and visibility for the county will be priceless.

The IHSA Destination DeKalb Host Committee will be out in force in March working to solicit sponsorship dollars and volunteers from the community and the surrounding region to provide a memorable experience for the 32,000 visitors expected to travel here Nov. 29 to 30. To find out more about sponsorships packages, send email to tmatya@zeamays.com or darmstrong@dekalbcountycvb.com We are asking everyone to join in the fun and get involved to welcome these visitors to the area. Volunteers are needed to help as ushers, ticket takers, parking attendants, hospitality tent greeters, and team greeters.

Volunteers can sign up today at www.ihsadestinationdekalb.com.

good job and go the extra mile and really do provide university quality – the patients are very grateful,” Khater said. “Practicing in rural America is unforgiving. If you do a bad job, people will know it. If you do a good job, people will know it.

And I’m comfortable in that zone.”

Khater already has a private practice in Ottawa: Radiation Oncology of Northern Illinois. Helping him at his Sandwich location is his partner, Dr. Jyoti Kalra.

Khater said radiation oncology is one method in which cancer can be treated. Along with the other two methods – surgery and chemotherapy – radiation has its uses.

“We can treat an entire region and still preserve the normal anatomy,” Khater said. “Radiation is good at controlling nonbulky diseases.”

The Sandwich location is named after John Wentworth, a two-term mayor of Chicago and a six-term congressman.

“Sandwich is a historical town,” Khater said. “It prides itself on preserving history. We felt naming the center met the town’s philosophy.”

Khater went to school at Northwestern University and John Hopkins University. In addition to his medical degrees, he also has a doctorate in bio-physics.

LIZ TBC LEMAY Net I was born in Chicago, Illinois. My family, moved to DeKalb, when I was three months old. I attended DeKalb schools, from Kindergarten to graduation. My summers were spent playing softball, water skiing, camping and traveling with my family. I graduated from DeKalb High School in 1984. I attended Kishwaukee College 1983 - 1985 taking many medical courses and general education.

Early in my career I held a wide variety of positions including: Corn-Destassler, Laboratory Aide, Phlebotomist, and Human Resources.

Working as a purchaser for RM Kaufmann in 1991, when my husband, Jack, and I had our son, Jacob. I decided to start working from home providing day care to preschool children while raising our son.

In 1994, I went back to work, accepting, a part time position, at UARCO in their order entry department. Months later, I was promoted to a re-buyer, and went back to work full time. I would go on to work for UARCO, receiving 3 more promotions along the way, until UARCOʼs/Standard Register, DeKalb Headquarters was moved out of DeKalb in late 2002.

Again, choosing to work from home, I subcontracted to a few local businesses, in order to spend more time raising my son and be more involved with his many hobbies.

In June of 2004 I accepted a position with TBC Net, Sycamore, as their receptionist. Months later I was promoted to Director of Purchasing. Eight years later and many changes at TBC Net ,including moving to our new location in DeKalb this summer, Iʼve continued to direct purchasing for TBC as well as being Account Manager to many of our customers.

This spring I intend to go back to Kishwaukee College to continue my education, and Jack, and I are looking forward to watching Jacob play baseball for Rockford College.

Officials pursue grants for events, to send students abroad Landis: Matthew • cElEbRATioN Continued from page A1 While federal funding for the center has been cut in half, Ledgerwood said officials aggressively pursue other grants to produce community events and send students abroad to learn firsthand.

“Bringing Southeast Asia to the community is still one of the main goals,” Ledgerwood said. “But we really try to get students out there. It really opens up another world and when they come back, they’re hooked.”

Senior Matt Ropp was hooked after a more than six-week visit to Malaysia in May 2012 that inspired him to pursue a Fulbright Scholarship to teach English in the country.

Ropp said he has another trip to

Malaysia planned this summer, and it was the center that gave him the rare opportunities he has discovered.

“It’s the only university in the country that teaches Malay,” Ropp said. “It was absolutely necessary for me to

After watching the center grow into a global presence in the past 50 years, Neher said he has no doubts another 50 years of success will follow. NIU’s reputation grew internationally to the point it was selected by the Association for Asian Studies to house national Center for Burma Studies, which opened on campus in 1986.

“The administration has a build-on-strength style,” Neher said. “ They want to strengthen what is already strong and the center has fit into that strategy very nicely.”

Ledgerwood said any student can participate in classes offered through the center and suggested the introduction course before pursuing language or higher level classes.

The center is located at 520 College View Court.

Rogers: It’s up to Congress to pave the way for our financial future • bUDGET Continued from page A1 The impact of the new cuts was proving slow to reach the broader public as Obama convened the first Cabinet meeting of his second term to discuss next steps.

The Pentagon did say it would furlough thousands of military school teachers around the world and close commissaries an extra day each week.

And Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said the spending cuts were causing delays in customs lines at airports including Los Angeles International and O’Hare International in Chicago.

Obama said he was continuing to seek out Republican partners to reach a deal to ease or head off the cuts, but there was no sign that a breakthrough was in the works to reverse them.

The new GOP funding measure is set to advance through the House on Thursday. It’s aimed at preventing a govern-

ment shutdown when a sixmonth spending bill passed last September runs out March 27.

The latest measure would provide a $10 billion increase for military operations and maintenance efforts and a boost for veterans’ health programs, but would put most the rest of the government on budget autopilot. Military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq would be cut to $87 billion – down from $115 billion last year – reflecting ongoing troop withdrawals from Afghanistan.

“It is clear that this nation is facing some very hard choices, and it’s up to Congress to pave the way for our financial future,” said bill sponsor Harold Rogers, R-Ky., chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. “But right now, we must act quickly and try to make the most of a difficult situation.

This bill will fund essential federal programs and services, help maintain our national security, and take a potential shutdown off the table.

Senate Democrats want to

add more detailed budgets for domestic Cabinet agencies but it’ll take GOP help to do so. The House measure denies money sought by Obama and his Democratic allies to implement the signature 2010 laws overhauling the health care system and financial regulation.

After accounting for the across-the-board cuts, domestic agencies would face reductions exceeding 5 percent when compared with last year. But Republicans would carve out a host of exemptions seeking to protect certain functions, including federal prisons and fire-fighting efforts in the West, and to provide new funding for embassy security and modernizing the U.S. nuclear arsenal.

The FBI and the Border Patrol would be able to maintain current staffing levels and would not have to furlough employees.

The legislation would provide about $2 billion more than the current level to increase security at U.S. embassies and diplomaticmissionsworldwide.

Last September, a terrorist attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

A project to repair the Capitol Dome in Washington could stay on track, and NASA’s space flight budget would be protected from the harshest effects of the automatic cuts, known in Washington as a sequester. An initiative to upgrade the Coast Guard fleet would be funded as well.

The across-the-board cuts would carve $85 billion in spending from the government’s $3.6 trillion budget for this year, concentrating the cuts in the approximately $1 trillion allocated to the day-today agency operating budgets set by Congress each year.

Those so-called discretionary accounts received big boosts in the first two years of Obama’s presidency when Democrats controlled Congress but have borne the brunt of the cuts approved as Obama and Republicans have grappled over the budget.

should be celebrated and remembered • MATTHEW RANKEN Continued from page A1 Matthew Ranken was a passenger in the back seat of a 1999 Cavalier driven by his older brother, Nicholas Weber, 21, of Sycamore. The vehicle was stopped in traffic for an accident about a mile away, authorities said.

A 1999 Ford Expedition, driven by Benjamin Black, 28, of Sycamore, struck the rear of the Cavalier, injuring all three occupants, who were transported to Kishwaukee Community Hospital, according to the Kane County Sheriff’s Office. Matthew Ranken was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Black was cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and operating an uninsured vehicle.

At his funeral, Matthew Ranken was remembered for his warm smile, caring nature and love for football.

He and his brothers often played football in the

yard and inadvertently stomped all over their grandmother’s flower beds. Matthew Ranken then would talk his brothers and himself out of trouble.

“He still loved that game, and he loved his big brothers,” Landis said.

Christopher Weber, 18, Matthew’s older brother, remembers him as a fast runner. Even when Christopher was on the high school track team, Matthew still could run faster than him, Landis said.

Nicholas Weber appreciated his younger brother’s thoughtfulness. He remembered Matthew always would knock before entering his bedroom.

Landis said.

Matthew lived much life in his 11 years, and he should be celebrated and remembered for that, Landis said.

“His life was brief,” Landis said. “But, he gave pleasure to those who knew and loved him.”

Always drive defensively in snow storms

Discord and disarray won’t help Obama legacy Barack Obama is said to believe that he can win the political fight over the sequester. That’s certainly the conventional wisdom.

And there is some evidence to support it. When you ask voters who will be to blame if the sequester occurs, Obama or “congressional Republicans,” they’re much more likely to say they’ll blame the latter.

Obama also comes out on top when you ask whether they will blame “Obama and congressional Democrats” or “congressional Republicans.”

There’s reason to wonder, however, whether reaction after something happens will be the same as what people predict before it does.

Voters are not always good predictors of their future attitudes. That’s why pollsters ask people which candidate they would vote for “if the election were held today.” They don’t ask them to predict whom they’ll vote for.

Also, groups of politicians are almost always more unpopular than individuals.

When pollsters ask whether you would like to see all congressional incumbents defeated for re-election, large majorities sometimes say yes.

But in every congressional election starting with 1934, a large majority of congressional incumbents have been reelected. That was true even in the recent high-turnover years of 2006, 2008 and 2010.

Americans don’t like congressmen in general. But most like their own individual congressman.

Voters’ predictions are especially suspect when they are asked their reaction to a policy – the sequester -– which they don’t understand and whose effects no one is sure of.

Obama is out on the hustings with his teleprompter warning of the horrific effects of the sequester’s cut in domestic services. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has been warning that there may be three-hour lines at airport

VIEWS Michael Barone passenger screening points.

This is the old Washington Monument routine. As Washington Monthly editor Charlie Peters explained in the 1970s, the standard procedure for an agency faced with a funding cutback is to cut the services most visible to the public.

In Washington tourism season, that meant closing the Washington Monument. Congressmen from all 435 districts likely to get angry calls from constituents immediately.

The Washington Monument is now closed for repair of earthquake damage. But Napolitano’s threat is an obvious example of the phenomenon Peters described.

One way to counter this, as some Republicans have figured out, is to call for elimination of travel for conventions and meetings. Voters suspect, probably rightly, that most of these are a waste of time and money.

The larger point is that it’s very hard to predict public reaction to things that haven’t happened. And that applies to the next budget issue down the road, the expiration of the continuing resolution March 27.

Translated into English, the government will not have money to function then unless Congress takes some action to fund it.

House Republicans are aware of this and have reportedly been preparing a continuing resolution funding the government until September at sequester levels and also giving the Defense Department leeway to apportion the cuts according to priorities rather than across the board.

They might consider giving the same leeway to Homeland Security. (Disclosure of personal interest: I’m a frequent

flyer.)

Obama says that would be unacceptable without revenue increases. But Senate Democrats have been quoted anonymously as saying they would pretty much have to go along.

That would leave Obama in an uncomfortable position. A veto would defund the government. Does he want to do that when the Democratic-majority Senate as well as the Republican-controlled House has given him a viable alternative?

For Senate Democrats to take that course would be a recognition that this president is irrelevant to fixing our fiscal problems. They would be working around him, as they did during the debt ceiling battle in summer 2011.

Second-term presidents usually try to advance some major policy initiative rather than engage in campaign-style conflicts with the congressional opposition.

Ronald Reagan pushed successfully for tax reform and emerged with job approval high enough to withstand the Iran-contra scandal.

Bill Clinton fashioned a balanced budget package with Speaker Newt Gingrich.

Clinton’s job approval actually rose after the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal broke.

George W. Bush tried for Social Security reform. That effort foundered in the face of Democratic opposition and Republican reluctance, and his job approval suffered.

Obama balks at addressing entitlement reform and tries to score points against Republicans. But in the long run, discord and disarray don’t help an incumbent president accomplish anything.

years, with the state kicking in 60 percent – $229.5 million – and property taxpayers kicking in 40 percent – $153 million.

Now, we understand that a $153 million property tax increase might sound like a lot of money, but it’s not. On a $150,000 home, it’s an extra $16.50 in the first year and an extra $15 in the second year.

Even Walker said Thursday that he’d consider more K-12 funding if property owners aren’t “seeing a dramatic increase.”

budget items in Walker’s plan.

The per-pupil increase each year would be $150. So for Appleton, with 15,000 students, it would mean an extra $2.25 million in the 2013-14 school year.

This may not be the ending point to an education funding plan, but it’s a great starting point. If the public education cuts in the last budget were needed to put the state on a more solid financial footing, schools need at least enough money to maintain their programs. Otherwise, the whole state – not just K-12 schools and their students – will suffer.

It’s a matter of priority – and this plan sets the right one.

New school funding plan sets priority in Wisconsin rated high in the state’s new report-card system, schools that have improved and schools that are struggling.

But some legislators, including a number of Walker’s fellow Republicans, say they want to devote more to K-12 public education, given its importance to 850,000 kids and their families – and given the cuts school districts absorbed in the current budget.

Two Republican state senators – Mike Ellis of Neenah and Luther Olsen of Ripon – announced a plan Friday to do just that. It makes a lot of sense.

How much should BP pay for the carelessness that led to the disastrous Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010?

Last week the giant oil company, the federal government and some Gulf Coast states started wrangling over that question. The parties gathered in New Orleans to begin a federal civil trial, the first phase of a process that will determine the size of the Clean Water Act fines the company must pay.

If the court finds that BP was merely negligent, the company could pay as much as $3.5 billion in fines.

If the judge finds that BP was grossly negligent, the company could have to pay as much as $17.6 billion.

Whatever the figure, it would be on top of the $20 billion to $30 billion that BP already has distributed or committed to pay. It would also settle only one of many outstanding legal claims against the company.

BP is still liable to pay for the environmental injury it caused, according to the results of a process called the Natural Resources Damage Assessment. Gulf states also recently demanded a whopping $34 billion in economic damages. Given all of these, the Economist calculates, BP’s total Deepwater Horizon payout could reach an incredible $90 billion.

A bill anywhere near that large is impossible to justify.

Millions of barrels of oil spewed for weeks into one of the world’s most productive fisheries, the full effects of which are still the subject of heated debate.

Environmentalists fret about what remaining oil will do to already eroding coastal wetlands, as well as the gulf’s complex food chain. BP must pay to clean up the environmental damage it did. This is important both to ensure that restoration efforts have the funding they need and to avoid encouraging others to take unwarranted risks.

But, in establishing BP’s punishment, federal and state governments shouldn’t try to extract excessive punitive fines. Even if BP is found to have been grossly negligent, it does not follow that it must face the harshest punishment the law allows. The principle of fairness does not justify treating the company like a piggy bank for Gulf-state budgets, discounting the mobilization of men and money the company directed following the spill. Neither does good sense. The government should welcome economically useful investment and enterprise, and seeking a maximal punishment for BP would do the opposite, discouraging even firms that would behave more responsibly than BP did in the run-up to the Deepwater Horizon blowout.

Instead of unending court proceedings, the parties should strike the proper balance in a settlement of their various claims. The sooner the better; restoration efforts get only harder the longer the wrangling continues.

A budget is a reflection of priorities. Money can be spent in a lot of ways, for a lot of things, but choices have to be made.

Priorities have to be set.

In the next state budget, public education has to be a higher priority.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s budget plan increases state aid to K-12 schools by $129 million over the two-year budget, but he doesn’t raise schools’ revenue limits – the amount of money they can raise. So schools aren’t getting an extra $129 million. It’s just $129 million less that schools have to levy in property taxes.

Walker also proposed $64 million in bonuses to schools

Residents of DeKalb County and the rest of northern Illinois were spoiled last winter and the beginning of this one.

Very little snowfall meant clean roads, no worries about school closures or slow commutes, and very little shoveling.

Then the calendar turned to February 2013.

In the past month or so, we haven’t been so fortunate.

It seems as if at least once a week, we’ve had to deal with one snow event or another.

Although none of this year’s snowstorms has come close to the Snowmaggedon that shut down much of the state in February 2011, we’ve had to regularly keep our eye on the weather radar, shovel our driveways, and plan for the slow commutes to and from work.

Expect much of the same today. As of Monday night, forecasters were predicting up to or more than 9 inches of snow to fall on northern Illinois. A winter storm warning was in effect until midnight tonight.

Today’s snowstorm could affect both morning and evening rush hours, so be prepared.

Also, wind gusts could reach between 25 and 30 mph this afternoon and into the evening hours, wreaking more havoc on commuters. Sounds like a lot of fun. Or not.

Here are just a few reminders: • If it’s snowing during your morning or afternoon commutes, turn on your headlights. Increase your visibility to other motorists, and keep your lights and windshield clean.

• Allow at least three times more space than usual between you and the car in front of you.

• Drive defensively. If your front wheels skid, take your foot off the gas and shift to neutral, but don’t try to steer immediately. As the wheels skid sideways, they will slow the vehicle and traction will return. As it does, steer in the direction you want to go, then return the transmission to “drive” and accelerate gently. Steer in the direction you want your wheels to go.

Remember that spring is just around the corner. It might help take the edge off today.

Manning bolts NIU for Michigan

By STEVE NITZ AP photo

Big 10 measuring support for fall baseball The Big Ten is measuring support for a proposal that would give baseball teams the option of playing non-conference games in the fall that would count toward determining the NCAA tournament field the following spring.

Big Ten coaches voted to continue studying the possibility, and deputy commissioner Brad Traviolia said Monday the conference is in the process of explaining the concept to coaches across the country.

Traviolia wrote in an email to The Associated Press that he couldn’t predict when, or if, the conference would submit the proposal to the NCAA legislative process.

The Big Ten and other northern conferences for years have sought ways for their schools to gain greater access to the NCAA tournament, which has been dominated by programs from the South and West since the late 1980s.

Cold weather puts northern schools at a disadvantage when the season starts in February.

Those schools must travel to the South or West to play the first month of the season.

– Wire report

snitz@shawmedia.com Roy Manning is off to the Big Ten less than two months after being named Northern Illinois’ running backs coach.

The former University of Michigan linebacker was named outside linebackers coach at his alma mater Monday.

Manning was hired at NIU on Jan. 16. He spent the 2011 season as a graduate assistant at Michigan and was the running backs coach at Cincinnati

in 2012.

Manning was a linebacker at Michigan from 2000-04, playing in 37 games throughout his career and starting in 10 games during the 2004 season, when Michigan won the Big Ten and played in the Rose Bowl.

“I’m excited to come back home to the University of Michigan,” Manning said in a Michigan news release. “I played and went to school here, and there is no place like it, anywhere. I want to thank Coach [Brady] Hoke and the rest of the staff for giving me this opportunity.

I understand the significance of saying, ‘I am a Michigan Man,’ and I will work every day to make our kids better players, students and, most importantly, people.

It is a tremendous honor to be here, and now it is time to Roy Manning go to work.”

During his short stint in DeKalb, Manning played a big part in the recruitment of Akron, Ohio athlete Aregeros Turner, who Rivals

rated as a three-star running back. Turner was recruited

by Manning at Cincinnati, and originally committed to the school before Butch Jones

took the Tennessee job. At his press conference on National Signing Day, NIU coach Rod Carey said Turner wouldn’t have been part of the Huskies’ recruiting class without Manning on the staff.

Carey had originally completed his coaching staff with the hiring of cornerbacks coach Kelvin Sigler on Feb. 18, but will have to round it out with one more hire after Manning’s departure.

yle Bonnell felt a little out of place.

The Sycamore junior brought only two bowling balls to the state meet, and as he looked around, he saw his competitors had five or six and were constantly switching depending on the situation.

But as he looked around, he noticed the intensity was

“It was crazy,” Bonnell said. “They take it a

lot more seriously down there than I expected. I’m not used to taking it that seriously. I just started out bowling for something to do, I never thought I would get to the state point.”

Bonnell was the only area bowler to qualify for the state meet, and he was named Daily Chronicle Boys Bowler of the Year for his accomplishments.

Bonnell always knew there was another level to

which he could step up his game.

But now that he was seeing it with his own eyes, he began to take his goals more seriously.

He didn’t make it past the first day, finishing with a score of 1,219, but he thinks just making it that far and measuring up against the best will help him improve.

BLACKHAWKS

Focused Crawford shakes off last season

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com DETROIT – Not all that long ago, Corey Crawford was the whipping boy for all that ailed the Blackhawks.

These days, he’s among the reasons why the Hawks are the NHL’s best team.

On Sunday, before the Hawks extended their season-long scoring streak to 22 games, Joel Quenneville characterized his team’s goalies as consistent. It’s a tag that never would have been tied to Crawford by the end of last season when Quenneville suggested AP photo Crawford’s struggles could Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford (left) is congratulated by left wing be linked to some sort of Bryan Bickell (center) and center Jonathan Toews after defeating the sophomore slump.

The complaints lodged by Detroit Red Wings, 2-1, in the shootout Sunday in Detroit.

Next for the Hawks Minnesota at Blackhawks, 7:30 p.m. today, CSN, AM-720 fans were almost impossible to ignore.

But Crawford pledged to move on, anxious to leave his inconsistent play in net during the Hawks’ firstround playoff loss to Phoenix behind him.

Since then, he’s done an about face. He boasts a 10-0-3 record and a career-best and league-leading 1.41 goalsagainst average.

In Sunday’s 2-1 shootout

win over the Red Wings, Crawford made 32 saves and stonewalled Detroit’s three shootout contestants to preserve the victory.

Perhaps most impressive is that Crawford did so after facing only three first-period shots, forcing the third-year goalie to remain focused while not being overloaded with work early on before knocking away 32 of the 33 shots he faced the rest of the way.

“He’s unbelievable,” Hawks winger Patrick Kane said. “It’s almost like we’re saying that every game now.

But both goaltenders have been great and a huge part of our success this year.”

8SPORTS SHORTS Kaneland graduate named All-Patriot League Elburn native, Kaneland graduate and Holy Cross junior forward Dave Dudzinski has been selected to the All-Patriot League second team in men’s basketball, as voted by the conference’s head coaches.

Dudzinski has averaged a team-best 15.0 points, 6.6 rebounds and 0.9 blocked shots a game this year, while hitting 47.9 Dave Dudzinski percent (157 of 328) of his field goal attempts and 82.4 percent (103 of 125) of his free throws.

He finished the regular season ranked fourth in the league in scoring, fourth in rebounding, fourth in free-throw percentage, eighth in blocked shots and ninth in field goal percentage. Dudzinski has led the team in scoring 15 times this year and scored in doublefigures 25 times.

Over the course of his career as a Crusader, he has now totaled 831 points, 439 rebounds and 68 blocked shots, while connecting on 49.2 percent (305 of 620) of his field goals and 80.3 percent (188 of 234) of his free throws. Dudzinski currently ranks sixth all-time at Holy Cross in career free throw percentage.

NIU grad Kube signs with Rush Former Northern Illinois football player Alex Kube has signed with the Chicago Rush of the Arena Football Alex Kube League.

Kube then played linebacker at Northern Illinois University and had a free-agent tryout with Minnesota.

Moore, Bears part ways CHICAGO – D.J. Moore and his swirly haircut will be playing elsewhere next season.

Moore, a nickelback who spent the past four seasons with the Bears, said Monday that the team was not interested in re-signing him as an unrestricted free agent. He wrote on Twitter that general manager Phil Emery “said he [didn’t] want me back.”

The announcement was not a surprise given Moore’s lateseason benching.

Moore intercepted 10 passes from 2010 to 2012, but he lost playing time to veteran Kelvin Hayden last season and did not play in three of the Bears’ final eight games.

He managed only four tackles and one pass break-up in the second half of the season after registering 25 tackles and five pass break-ups in the first eight games.

Instead of making headlines because of his playmaking skills last season, Moore heightened a controversy in September with his public criticism of Jay Cutler for shoving offensive lineman J’Marcus Webb during a game in Green Bay. “I don’t think you can act like that,” Moore said.

The NFL’s free-agent signing period begins March 12.

Change ahead for Illinois

By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press CHAMPAIGN – Coming off a 2-10 season, there will be changes in Tim Beckman’s second season as Illinois coach.

Spring practice starts today after an offseason of coaching turnover.

Beckman changed much of his staff, bringing in new offensive coordinator Bill Cubit and adding new assistants on both sides of the ball.

And Illinois will play without four of the most talented players off last season’s team – defensive end Michael Buchanan, defensive back Terry Hawthorne, defensive tackle Akeem Spence and offensive lineman Hugh Thornton. All four are trying to catch the eye of NFL teams ahead of the draft.

Beckman said Monday that he wasn’t surprised by challenges his team faced last fall – depth key among them, he said.

“It’s what I thought it was when I was getting in,” said Beckman, who came from Toledo to replace Ron Zook. “I knew it would be a challenge. ... I think we’re moving forward.”

With Cubit in charge of the offense, change is likely there.

Cubit was fired last season after eight seasons as Western Michigan coach, but has a history of putting together productive offenses. Illinois’ was the Big Ten’s worst last season in both scoring (16.7 points a game) and in yardage (296.7).

Cubit says returning starter Nathan Scheelhaase has the edge at quarterback,

but said he’s really hoping backup Reilly O’Toole pushes the incumbent. O’Toole, a sophomore, played in seven games last fall as Scheelhaase struggled with both his performance and injuries.

“I expect Reilly to go out there and say, ‘I want to go out there and be the starter just like Nate is,’ ” Cubit said.

“That’s the only way to do it.

If he sits back, he’ll never be good.”

The team’s running backs, Beckman said, figure to be a strong point. Donovonn Young, Josh Ferguson and Dami Ayoola combined for 1,000 yards on 232 carries last season. The line in front of them was a weakness last fall, but Beckman said it should be better.

Illinois will go through the spring without its second mostproductive receiver. Darius

Hawks lead league in with 1.67 GAA • CRAWFORD Continued from page B1 Crawford has split time this season with Ray Emery, the second half of the Hawks’ 1-2 punch in net. Together, they’ve combined to make the Hawks’ the league’s best in goals-against average (1.67 a game) while managing to get the same level of support in front of them regardless of who is playing.

Crawford and Emery have become nearly interchangeable. Last week against St. Louis, Crawford started but left after the first period, only to have Emery step in and help preserve a shutout in a 3-0 victory. After missing Friday night’s game against Columbus while still dealing with an upper body injury, Crawford took over again against Detroit on Sunday, continuing the Hawks’ dominance over the rest of the league.

Maintaining focus has been critical for Crawford, keeping him among the league’s elite goalkeepers all season.

“I’m just watching the puck the whole game – I don’t know how else to explain it,” Crawford said.

“I’ve just been able to bear down and really focus, especially on little things on the side of the net and just make sure not to give up those bad goals that change momentum.”

It’s a major shift from last year when Crawford allowed 2.72 goals a game in 57 games, registering a .903 save percentage.

Asked if he’s playing the best hockey of his career, Crawford said he thought he competed at a high level at times last year but lacked some of the mental toughness and consistency that

has seemed to make all the difference during the Hawks’ current run.

Crawford has been able to stay sharp despite splitting time with Emery over the first 22 games. But having that steady competition on a regular basis, he maintains, has kept him at the top of his game, “Ray’s been awesome, and we’re just kind of feeding off one another,” Crawford said. “It’s nice when it really doesn’t matter who

goes in there. Both guys go in there and are focused and just do their job. It’s definitely a confidence builder for the guys that are playing in front of us.”

The defense has certainly helped during a season when the Hawks are 12-0-3 in one-goal games.

Quenneville has established confidence in Crawford and Emery alike, acknowledging Sunday that having two top goalies isn’t a bad problem to have for a team that hopes to keep its success rolling all the way to the playoffs and beyond.

He referred to his goalie rotational system as a “healthy situation.”

“The consistency [in net] has been probably the best situation we’ve been in, and it’s been a key factor to our start,” Quenneville said.

“Both guys want to play, and both guys have proven in this league they can be a top goalie, and it just seems like no matter what player you look at in our lineup, everybody’s making a meaningful contribution.

And that starts with our goaltenders.”

Millines – who had 319 yards on 32 catches last year – was already out with a shoulder injury but is now suspended for violating unspecified team rules, Beckman said Monday.

Beckman said he’ll re-evaluate Millines’ situation in May. With three of the four likely NFL prospects that left on defense, Illinois’ biggest holes may be on that side of the ball.

And those losses come from a unit that struggled in 2012. Illinois gave up 32.1 points a game – 11th in the 12-team Big Ten – and was 10th in yards allowed at 387.6. The team was also last in turnover margin and near the back of the conference in sacks just a season after being among the best in the country.

The problem last season, defensive coordinator Tim Banks said, wasn’t the system. So don’t expect to see big changes there.

Toledo is actually banned from postseason play because of poor APR scores, so the Rockets have a ton to play for this week.

Toledo puts a lot of points on the board at home, and Northern Illinois coach Mark Montgomery mentioned the need to get back in transition. Rockets junior guard Rian Pearson leads the MAC with 18.2 ppg.

OUTLOOK The Huskies can still get out of the MAC West cellar – they sit tied for sixth with Central Michigan, and could also gain some much-needed momentum heading into the MAC tournament.

NIU will be without sophomore wing Abdel Nader, who Montgomery said is going through some personal and family issues. Montgomery isn’t sure when his leading scorer, who missed Saturday’s 69-50 loss to CMU, will be back. Freshman guard Mike Davis made his first start against the Chippewas, and had a career-high 12 points.

FIRST TEAM Kyle Bonnell, Sycamore, junior This year, Bonnell shockingly won the DeKalb Sectional to qualify individually for the state meet. With a summer of hard work, Bonnell hopes he can make it to the second day of the state meet next year along with teammate Brendan Fank.

Michael Beluzzi, sophomore, DeKalb Big things are expected of the sophomore next year after he finished fifth at the sectional meet with a score of 1,280.

He’ll help lead a strong crop of returning Barbs.

Seth Pinne, DeKalb, junior Pinne led the Barbs to second place at the Northern Illinois Big 12 conference meet. He was the highest area finisher in the meet with a score of 1,230.

Brendan Fank, Sycamore, junior Fank was Sycamore’s highest finisher all year. He and Bonnell will return to lead a strong conference contender next year, and the Spartans will have a good chance of making it to the state meet.

“It makes me want to be more competitive about it and go down there and possibly go farther than I did this year. I’m definitely going to practice more so that I know I can be consistent all the time. I’m probably going to get some more bowling balls so that I have something to go to if I need a change.”

Sycamore junior Kyle Bonnell, the Daily Chronicle’s 2013 Boys Bowler of the Year, finished the state meet with a score of 1,219.

Bonnell posts 1,375 at DeKalb Sectional • BONNELL Continued from page B1 “It makes me want to be more competitive about it and go down there and possibly go farther than I did this year,” Bonnell said. “I’m definitely going to practice more so that I know I can be consistent all the time. I’m probably going to get some more bowling balls so that I have something to go to if I need a change.”

The fact that Bonnell made it as far as the state meet in the first place was a bit of a surprise. Bonnell went through a slump midway through the season after adjusting to a new bowling ball, and he finished second to teammate Brendan Fank for most of the season. But at the

DeKalb sectional, he had the bowling day of his life, finishing with a six-game score of 1,375 to win the meet, almost 300 pins better than he had at the conference meet.

Coming into the season, it was always Bonnell and Fank’s goal for one of them to make it to the state meet.

But as the season went by, it seemed less and less likely.

“Nobody expected me to make it,” Bonnell said. “I didn’t even expect it. We all expected him to [qualify].”

Next season, qualifying won’t be a far-off goal for Bonnell, it’ll be an expectation.

“Me and Brendan made a goal that we’re both going to state,” he said. “We want to finish first and second in sectionals or make it as a team so we can both go down there.”

innings, I didn’t feel like I was losing anything. If anything, it was starting to come to me a little bit.”

Danks made only nine starts last season and, after trying to rehab through his shoulder injury, had arthroscopic surgery in August to repair a capsular tear and minor debridement of the rotator cuff and biceps in the shoulder. He has been on a normal workload and routine this spring and has been saying he expects to be on the opening-day roster.

Monday’s start was an important step in his recovery process.

“I’m glad it’s over,” he said. “I couldn’t have really asked for more. I don’t want to give up homers, but my main focus was throwing strikes and I was able to do that.”

GLENDALE, Ariz. – John Danks hadn’t pitched in a game since last May. The 10 months that passed since felt like 10 years to the White Sox left-hander.

The last two hours before Danks started in the Sox’s 6-2 win against the San Francisco Giants on Monday seemed like an eternity to him, too.

“I tell you what, the clock stopped at 11 (a.m.),” said Danks, who took the mound at 1:05 p.m. Arizona time for the first time since he faced the Cubs at Wrigley Field on May 19. “I felt like I kept looking at the clock, waiting for the game to start. Once I got on the field and started warming up, it felt a little more in my comfort zone.”

Danks looked comfortable in his 35-pitch start, throwing

27 for strikes and allowing one run on two hits and no walks with two strikeouts. One of the hits was a home run to left field by Joaquin Arias, the second batter he faced. After that, Danks retired five batters in a row before allowing a leadoff single in the third to Kensuke Tanaka.

“I feel good right now,” said Danks, who threw mostly fastballs and changeups.

“The test will be tomorrow and the next day. So far, so good. As I was going back out there for the second and third

United States vs.

Sox, 2:05 p.m. today

MESA, Ariz. – Indians manager Terry Francona was reluctant to allow starter Carlos Carrasco remain in the game after he was hit in the head by a line drive.

Carrasco did persuade Francona to stay after Darnell McDonald’s drive knocked him to his knees and he pitched three innings in the Indians’ 13-5 win over the Cubs.

Carrasco is competing for one of the team’s rotation spots. He allowed four hits, two runs with a walk and two strikeouts. He did give up Alfonso Soriano’s first homer of the spring.

Carrasco, who missed all of last season after Tommy John surgery, was followed

by Zach McCallister and Trevor Bauer. They each pitch three innings.

McCallister allowed one hit.

Gonzaga is No. 1 for 1st time

By NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS The Associated Press SPOKANE, Wash. – The todo list for the Gonzaga basketball team got shorter Monday: For the first time, the Zags were ranked No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25 poll.

Sweet, but it may get bumpier from there.

Next:Avoidingthepotholes that have stopped every other No. 1 this season, then finding a way to the Final Four.

“It’s an honor that people would think this highly of all of us in the program,” coach Mark Few said in a prepared statement Monday. “It’s great for the program, great for the school, great for the city of Spokane and the region and the entire Northwest.

“We still have a lot more to accomplish starting this weekend in Las Vegas and moving forward to the NCAA tournament,” said Few, who reportedly went fishing on Monday.

“We’re looking forward to the

rest of the season and making it last as long as we can.”

The fact that Few would skip perhaps the biggest day in program history to go fishing says much about the priorities of the coach who helped build and has sustained Gonzaga’s success. Few has repeatedly said he enjoys the balance between work and family time that Gonzaga provides, a major reason he has not left for a bigger program.

Students celebrated the No. 1 ranking on the downtown campus Monday, and the food services department wheeled out a 20-foot cake that said “Congratulations Zags.”

Staying No. 1 has been tough this season, with Gonzaga the fifth school to hold the spot after replacing Indiana this week. The others were Duke, Louisville and Michigan.

“We don’t believe there is any jinx,” assistant coach Tommy Lloyd said earlier Monday. “Obviously, it’s a

dream for us, the ultimate accomplishment.”

Gonzaga, a small Jesuit school in Spokane, is where crooner Bing Crosby went and where John Stockton threaded pinpoint passes. It has the best record in Division I at 29-2 following weekend wins against BYU and Portland.

The Hoosiers, beaten by Minnesota last week, dropped to No. 2.

“We’re not necessarily in pursuit of a ranking,” Lloyd said. “We’re trying to get to the NCAA tournament. When that’s over, as coaches we can look back and realize what an accomplishment it is and how difficult it is.”

The Zags are the 57th school to be ranked No. 1 since the AP poll began in January 1949. The school is considered a mid-major and reached No. 2 for the first time last week.

Now it will play for the first time at No. 1 on Saturday night in the West Coast Conference semifinals.

WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC ROUNDUP

Abreu, Cuba clobber China; South Korea rolls The ASSOCIATED PRESS FUKUOKA, Japan – Jose Abreu hit a grand slam to help Cuba clobber China, 120, Monday and ensure that it would advance to the second round of the World Baseball Classic.

The Cuban infielder drove in five runs and the game at the Fukuoka Dome was called under the tournament’s mercy rule after the seventh inning.

Throughout the game, Cuba displayed the type of firepower that makes it one of the title contenders.

“We’re very happy to have two wins from two games,”

Cuba manager Victor Mesa said. “But we are not 100 percent yet, we have some minor issues and I feel we are lacking something but we are happy to be 2-0.”

Alexei Bell hit a towering two-run homer to left to make it 4-0 in the fourth and Alfredo Despaigne put the result beyond doubt in the same inning when he doubled on a sharp ground ball to left, scoring Jose Fernandez and Frederich Cepeda to make it 6-0.

Fernandez singled in two more runs in the fifth before Abreu’s grand slam.

“We knew it was going to be a difficult game because Cuba is so good,” China man-

ager John McLaren said.

“They are so powerful and we had limited pitching today. I see a lot of major league talent on that Cuban team.”

Cuba starter Danny Betancourt struck out eight and gave up only one hit in 42⁄3 innings. China starter Li Xin gave up five runs on eight hits over 3 1⁄3 innings to take the loss.

Cuba next faces Japan on Wednesday. Cuba’s win also means that Japan advances to the March 8 through 12 second round at Tokyo Dome.

South Korea 6, Australia 0: At Taipei, Taiwan, Seung Song allowed two hits in four innings and South Korea beat

Australia 6-0 Monday night in Group B of the World Baseball Classic.

The win lifted the South Koreans to 1-1 in the group and set up a crucial game against host Taiwan on Tuesday. Australia fell to 0-2.

Kim Hyun-soo drove in two runs for South Korea, which rebounded from an uncharacteristically sloppy display against the Netherlands in a 5-0 loss.

With a 2-0 record, the Taiwanese remain in a commanding position to advance to the next round in Tokyo.

The Netherlands is also 1-1 after stunning South Korea, but must beat Australia today.

Challenge Update

Edwards ends long drought at Phoenix

Despite struggling with his car most of the day, Hamlin made a bold move on the last lap with a pass on the apron below the dogleg. He popped up alongside Daytona 500 winner Jimmie Johnson and the two drag-raced to the finish, where Johnson edged him by a few inches.

Keselowski, who was outside Johnson during Hamlin’s move, finished fourth and Dale Earnhardt Jr. ended up fifth.

“As far down as I was, I was committed, there was nothing that I was going to do where I would back out,” Hamlin said. “I just hoped I would have just slid in front of the 48, then you risk getting punted and spun, and your whole day you’ve worked everything for is taken away in a corner. I held my line and thought I really did the right thing and gave those guys room to pass me back — and one of them did.”

The last Phoenix race, in November, set up Keselowski for his first Sprint Cup title after Johnson blew a tire. It also featured quite a sideshow.

A running feud between Clint Bowyer and Jeff Gordon boiled over late in the race, setting off a brawl in the pits and Bowyer on a WWE-style dash to Gordon’s hauler.

The drivers tried to downplay the confrontation after arriving in the desert this week, but it’s been hard to avoid, with video of the scrap-and-dash being shown all over in promos for the race and replays.

Ryan Newman had the only dash this time around, running across the track and away from his car after it blew a right-front tire for the second time in 140 laps.

Inside his car, Mark Martin failed in his bid to become the oldest Sprint Cup winner.

AP Sports Writer JOHN MARSHALL (AP)

AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Carl Edwards climbed from his car, stood on the door and landed a backflip near the finish line. He then hopped up on the wall in front of the grandstand, grabbed the checkered flag and waded into the crowd, trading high-fives with fans.

After a miserable week at Daytona, Edwards had plenty to celebrate.

The 54-year-old became the second-oldest driver to start on the pole in a Sprint Cup car, a few months short of Harry Gant’s mark. Martin led the first 49 laps and 26 more later on, but couldn’t sustain it in his bid to become the oldest Sprint Cup winner, finishing 21st.

“Obviously, it’s a disappointing result for a great effort on the weekend,” Martin said. “The car was pretty fast, but we had multiple problems today.”

So did Danica Patrick, who had a rough follow-up to her breakthrough week at the Daytona 500.

Patrick became the first woman to win a pole and lead green-flag laps during NASCAR’s season opener, sending her popularity to a new level.

But she couldn’t stay with the leaders at Phoenix, ending her day with one of the hardest hits of her career. It happened with about 100 laps left, when the right-front tire on Patrick’s No. 10 Chevrolet went down and slammed her into the wall.

Patrick’s car careened back into David Ragan, flipping her hood over the windshield and shredding the left front fender as protective foam from the driver’s side door flew onto the track.

She came to a stop along the inside wall with a trail of debris covering about half the home straightaway behind her. She climbed from the car and was quickly cleared by the medical center.

That it came at Phoenix International Raceway only seemed fitting.

Coming through on his promise to dominate after his Daytona disaster, Edwards pulled away on a late restart and snapped a 70-race winless streak on Sunday, the second long drought he’s ended at Phoenix.

“This win feels as good or better as any win I’ve ever had,” Edwards said.

Edwards had a rough 2012 season, missing the Chase for the championship. His downward spiral continued at Daytona, where he wrecked five cars. On his way out of Florida, Edwards said he was ready to dominate and win at Phoenix.

He did just that, leading the final 78 laps on the 312-lap race around PIR’s odd-shaped oval in the first nonrestrictor-plate race with NASCAR’s new Gen-6 car.

Edwards got a good push from defending Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski on the restart with two laps left and pulled away from there, winning for the first time since Las Vegas in 2011.

After parking his car at the finish line, Edwards landed his first backflip in nearly two years and celebrated with the fans — just like he did at PIR after ending another 70-race winless streak in 2010.

“I’m sure it’s a relief for someone like Carl,” said Denny Hamlin, who finished third and had a long winless streak end at Phoenix last year. “He’s now relevant again, he really is and it’s a good sign for their race team for things to come.” The big duel came behind Edwards.

“Whenever those right-fronts go, they always hit hard because you don’t broadside, you hit more straight on,” said Patrick, who finished 39th. “It took a hard hit both sides and I’m fine, so NASCAR is doing a good job at safety. But no real good warning. The car wasn’t all that tight and most of the (problems) were in the rear, so there was no real vibration that told me that was going to happen.”

Edwards set himself up for this victory with a late-night call to new crew chief Jimmy Fennig, knocking on his door around midnight Saturday to go over some last-minute details. For race morning, Edwards went for a hike to clear his mind and focused.

It paid off, ending two years of frustration and self-doubt that grew as the streak grew.

“Last year we didn’t even make the Chase,” Edwards said. “For me to sit home while everybody was at the Chase stuff and in Vegas, that was a little bit of a shock to me and I did not like that at all. To get a victory puts us in better position to be in the Chase, it just feels good to win and I’m just very glad to be here.”

Find company in solitude with imagination Dear Abby: My husband and I are expecting our first child (a boy) later this year.

How do I teach my son to enjoy solitude and his own company? Too many people today turn on the radio or TV because they can’t appreciate the quiet.

I want my little one to have loving friends, but also periods of quiet, reflective fun time by himself. My husband and I grew up with siblings, but he hates solitude while I find lots of activities to do by myself. I am never lonely.

Treat peptic ulcer by cutting bacterial cause Dear Dr. K: I’ve been diagnosed with a peptic ulcer.

What does that mean? And what’s the treatment?

Dear Reader: A peptic ulcer is a sore or hole that forms in the lining of the stomach or upper part of the small intestine (called the duodenum). If your ulcer is small, you may have few symptoms. But if the ulcer is deep, it can cause bleeding or serious pain.

What causes the ulcer?

For many decades, doctors thought they knew the answer: It was acid. Stress and psychological problems led a person to make too much stomach acid.

It was a reasonable theory.

Your stomach does make acid to help you digest food. The acid also could digest your

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff stomach if it weren’t protected. But it is: Your stomach is lined with a layer of special cells and mucus. The mucus protects the lining of the stomach and duodenum from damage by acid and digestive enzymes.

The “acid theory” held that peptic ulcers were caused either by too much stomach acid, or by a failure in the production of protective mucus, or both. Almost everyone was convinced the acid theory was correct, even though there was little evidence for it.

Beginning in the early 1980s, two young Australian doctors – Barry Marshall and Robin Warren – pursued a very different theory. They found an unusual kind of bacteria, Helicobacter pylori, inside many peptic ulcers. They argued that these bacteria cause inflammation, weakening the stomach lining and the protective mucus. When stomach acid got into the ulcer, it made the ulcer worse.

(I’ve put an illustration of this on my website.) To help prove the point, Marshall swallowed the bacteria – and shortly thereafter developed peptic ulcers.

For a decade their ideas were ridiculed. But slowly the evidence became undeniable.

The bacteria were even identified as a cause of stomach

cancer. In 2005, Marshall and Warren were honored with the Nobel Prize – and very few of their colleagues who had ridiculed them apologized.

Another common cause of stomach lining irritation and ulcers is nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn). NSAIDs block the formation of certain chemicals that normally help protect against ulcers.

Contrary to popular belief, stress and spicy foods do not seem to increase the risk of ulcers.

Treatment of ulcers depends on their cause.

Ulcers caused by H. pylori are treated with antibiotics and acid-suppressing medication.

Successfully killing the H. pylori bacteria will greatly reduce your chances of developing another ulcer.

If your ulcer was caused by an NSAID, the treatment is to stop taking it. Your ulcer will begin to heal almost immediately. You’ll also take medications to reduce acid damage during healing.

These may include antacids to neutralize stomach acids.

Or you may take H2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors to decrease the amount of acid your stomach produces.

Acid makes any ulcer worse, but as Marshall and Warren showed, the acid is not the cause of peptic ulcers.

It’s best not to introduce alcohol to your son Dr. Wallace: My husband and I are “social” drinkers.

8ASTROGRAPH

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association

TODAY – A temptation to make some new changes in your basic lifestyle could be prevalent in the year ahead. As long as your plans aren’t unrealistic or impractical, all should work out quite well.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Nothing worth bragging about is likely to be accomplished if you are too wishy-washy. In fact, your inability to make up your mind could drive everyone crazy.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t get so carried away by how well others are doing that you forget to concentrate on furthering your own abilities. Try to focus only on your own efforts.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Just because a certain tactic works well for a friend doesn’t necessarily mean that it will for you. Experiment to find your own game plan and then stick to it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Steer clear of any involvement in which you have no say in the decision-making. Plans made entirely by others might not be best for your interests.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – It won’t take you long to lose points with others if you don’t hold yourself accountable for your mistakes. This will be especially true if you put the blame everywhere but on yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Wasted time will become a critical factor in hampering your productivity. The chances for accomplishing your aims will be in direct proportion to the time you spend dilly-dallying.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – If you and your mate are facing a difficult decision, try to work it out yourselves instead of discussing it with outsiders, especially in-laws.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – In order to spare the feelings of another, you might rework the facts. Sadly, when the truth comes out, it will only anger the person whom you wanted to help.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – When it comes to people who helped you acquire something that you badly wanted, of course you should share the rewards. Just don’t feel obligated to make a payoff to those who did nothing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – There is a chance that one of your well-intentioned gestures might produce some unintended and unpleasant effects, causing others to have difficulty in discerning your motives.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Under most conditions you are a rather determined person. However, friends could talk you into doing things that you know you shouldn’t, causing you much guilt later.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – A lot of disappointment is possible if you base your expectations on unrealistic premises.

Make it a point to try to see things for what they are and not as you wish them to be.

socially?

You must remember that alcohol is a highly addictive and depressive drug, which has wreaked havoc on millions of families. When you and your husband drink at home in front of your son, you are sending a message that it’s OK to drink. Children are deeply influenced by what their parents do – far more than by what they say.

If you truly care that your son never consumes a drop of alcohol in his life, set an example for him and stop drinking. Never should a parent encourage a child to drink alcohol for any reason.

8CROSSWORD

BRIDGE Phillip Alder

Hunt for the right idea Virginia Gildersleeve was the only American woman at the 1945 San Francisco conference that created the United Nations. She said, “The ability to think straight, some knowledge of the past, some vision of the future, some skill to do useful service, some urge to fit that service into the well-being of the community – these are the most vital things education must try to produce.”

At the bridge table, it is important to think straight, to remember the past bids and plays, and to have some idea of what you plan to do. In this deal, how should South play in two spades? West leads the club ace, cashes the club king, and plays another club.

South, with five top losers (two hearts, one diamond and two clubs), needs to find the spade queen to get home.

Declarer must remember that neither opponent could open the bidding. And South has already seen seven points from West. However, before guessing how to play the trump suit, declarer should explore for more data. He should play on the red suits to learn who holds those honors.

Then he will be sure to know who has the spade queen.

At trick four, South leads a heart. Let’s assume East takes that trick and shifts to a low diamond. Declarer wins with his king and plays another heart. East wins and cashes his diamond ace. Who has the spade queen?

Since East has produced 11 points, it must be West.

Remember the passes as well as the bids, and count those high-card points.
