Drinking death suit set to expand Attorney for Bogenberger family adding 16 women to litigation By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The family of a 19-year-old fraternity pledge found dead Nov. 2 after a night of heavy drinking plans to add 16 women to a wrongful death lawsuit – and could add more later. Peter Coladarci, the Chicago attorney representing David Bogenberger’s family, said more students would likely be included in the lawsuit after he learns
their full names. A separate lawsuit could be filed against Northern Illinois University. “People have to understand if they participate in an event like this and someone dies, they are going to be held legally and morally accountable,” Coladarci said. Bogenberger, an NIU freshman from Palatine, was found dead at the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house Nov. 2 after an unsanctioned “parents night” party
where Greek members paired into “moms” and “dads.” The “parents” asked pledges questions where wrong answers resulted in pledges drinking excessive amounts of vodka. The lawsuit alleges, fraternity members put Bogenberger on a couch or bed in the house after he passed out from excessive drinking rather than seeking medical attention. His blood-alcohol content when he died was 0.351 percent, which is more than

four times the legal driving limit. If a Cook County judge ultimately approves the motion to add the 16 women named Wednesday, the lawsuit would include a total of 38 students. Coladarci said the judge did not approve the motion Wednesday because of a technicality, but indicated it would be allowed at a May 3 court date once Coladarci separates complaints under the Illinois Wrongful Death Act and Illinois Survival Act.
DeKalb police have said the women were not actively involved in providing the alcohol or encouraging the drinking, which is why they were not included in the criminal charges brought against 22 fraternity members. Five face felony hazing charges, while the rest are charged with misdemeanors. But Coladarci said after reading police reports, he believes the

Rick O. Smith Illinois State Police have identified Smith as the suspected gunman in the shooting deaths Wednesday in Manchester. Five people were killed, including two women, one man and two children. A sixth victim, a 6-year-old girl, was injured and taken to the hospital.
MANCHESTER – The nephew of a small-town Illinois mayor shot and killed five people, including two boys, before leading police on a chase that ended in an exchange of gunfire that killed him, authorities said Wednesday. Illinois State Police said they believe Rick O. Smith, 43, entered a Manchester home through the back door and shot the victims at close range with a shotgun, leaving two women, one man and the boys dead. Two people were found in a bedroom, two in a second bedroom and the man in the hallway. A sixth victim, a 6-yearold girl, was injured and taken to a Springfield hospital. “The offender took the 6-yearold out of the residence and put her in the hands of a neighbor,” State Police Lt. Col. Todd Kilby said. Officials have not revealed a motive for the killings. Police said the victims are related. Authorities believe Smith and the victims were acquainted, but they didn’t provide details of the relationships. A bystander called police and told them that Smith fled the home in a white sedan. A car chase ensued, leading authorities to the town of Winchester, where Smith and officers exchanged gunfire. Officers shot Smith, and he later died at a hospital. Police said they found a rifle, shotgun and large hunting knife in Smith’s car. Coroner officials said autopsies on the victims are planned for today in Bloomington and identities would be released at that time.

On Monday afternoon in downtown Sycamore, Troy Oltman and his wife, Cassie, prepare Cassie’s Popcorn Stand for their opening Sunday. The stand has been owned by the family for 30 years.
Summer means sales for mom and pops By STEPHANIE HICKMAN shickman@shawmedia.com When Sycamore pedestrians saw Cassie and Troy Oltman inside their popcorn stand this week, several stopped hoping to get their hands on their famous popcorn. The Oltmans aren’t open yet for business, but the interest from residents was something Cassie Oltman was glad to see as they were cleaning and preparing Cassie’s Popcorn Stand for the upcoming season. “They’re all excited,” she said. The stand, at 200 W. State St. in Sycamore, is one of the area’s many businesses that operate on a seasonal basis. Cassie’s is set to open Sunday in Sycamore while the DeKalb location in the Van Buer Plaza at North Second and East Locust streets will open May 1. Both locations

Meanwhile, Dairy Dogs, 675 E. State St. in Sycamore, opened for the season in March, which owner Margret Schrant said was probably a little too soon given the less-than-favorable weather
conditions. But now that Schrant and her husband, Helmut, are open for business they are committed to being available for their customers who visit the drive-in. “We want to be very consistent to the customers,” Mar-
gret Schrant said. “Our hours stay true to form.” For seasonal businesses like Cassie’s and Dairy Dogs, maximizing the short period of time they are able to operate is critical, said Rose Treml, executive director of the Sycamore Chamber of Commerce. Dairy Dogs holds several community events and activities during the summer, which helps them generate more business, Margret Schrant said. The restaurant hosts fundraisers for local organizations such as the Opportunity House and Sycamore schools’ athletic programs. “That’s great fun to us,” she said. “And I think that helps spread the word of mouth, so to speak.” The small window of time during which these seasonal shops operate can easily be hindered by weather conditions. But the Dairy Dogs staff

8 TODAY’S TALKER
How a phony tweet sank stocks The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – For a few surreal minutes, a mere 12 words on Twitter caused the world’s mightiest stock market to tremble. No sooner did hackers send a false Associated Press tweet reporting explosions at the White House on Tuesday than investors started dumping stocks – eventually unloading $134 billion worth. Turns out, some investors are not only gullible, they’re impossibly fast stock traders. Except most of the investors weren’t human. They were computers, selling on autopilot beyond the control of humans, like a scene from a sci-fi horror film. “Before you could blink, it was over,” said Joe Saluzzi, co-founder of Themis Trading and an outspoken critic of highspeed computerized trading. “With people, you wouldn’t have this type of reaction.” For decades, computers have been sorting through data and news to help investment funds decide whether to buy or sell. But that’s old school. Now “algorithmic” trading programs sift through data, news, even tweets, and execute trades by themselves in fractions of a second, without slowpoke humans getting in the way. More than half of stock trading every day is done this way. Markets quickly recovered after Tuesday’s plunge. But the incident rattled traders and highlighted the danger of handing control to the machines. It also raised questions about whether regulators should be doing more to monitor the relationship between social media and the markets. Irene Aldridge, a consultant to hedge funds on algorithmic programs, said glitches and plunges may be inevitable with trading programs that just count
The Associated Press PHOENIX – Ticket scalping is nothing new in the sports and music world, but for a murder trial? Dozens of people flock to court each day for a chance to score one of a handful of seats open to the public in Jodi Arias’ ongoing murder trial in Arizona. The seats are provided on a first-come, firstserve basis, and nearly four months into the trial, the crowds are growing. This week, one trial regular sold her spot to another person for $200 – and both got reprimands from the court Tuesday. Desiree Lee, a regular attendee, said another woman had traveled from Michigan to see the trial but couldn’t get a seat because she was too far back

Trader Christopher Lotito (center) works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday. No sooner did a phony Associated Press report of explosions at the White House appear on Twitter on Tuesday than investors started dumping stocks, eventually unloading $134 billion worth. the number of positive and negative words, without any filter. “You can’t ban Twitter,” said Aldridge, author of “High-Frequency Trading,” a guide to algorithmic trading. Just how exactly the trading unfolded Tuesday is still a bit of mystery. Some experts say the computers took their cue from humans, picking up on a pause in buying as traders read the phony tweet. In Wall Street’s insanely fast trading world, humans holding back for even a second could have signaled to computers that buyers were drying up and that prices could fall, and so the computers should sell fast.
Others, like Saluzzi, think computers may have sold on the tweet itself. That’s possible because computer trading programs are increasingly written to read, and react to, news from social media outlets like Twitter. Experts say the fake tweet seemed designed to catch a computer’s attention. Rich Brown, head of Elektron Analytics, a Thomson-Reuters unit that sells news feeds that computers can read, said that the words “explosions” or “Obama” alone wouldn’t have triggered selling. But add “White House,” and it’s a combination even the slowest computer couldn’t miss.
Seat in gallery sold at Ariz. murder trial By BRIAN SKOLOFF

in line. “She was asking a couple of people ahead of me if they wanted to sell their seats,” Lee, who lives in the area, told ABC15 in Phoenix. “I said yes because I can come every day if I wanted to ... I seriously didn’t know I was going to get in trouble. “I’m a little embarrassed more than anything,” Lee said. She was told to return the money. The purchaser kept her seat for free. Jodi Arias Court officials confirmed the incident. The court’s rules prohibit saving spots in line, and that’s why the woman was asked to give the money back, although she doesn’t face any sort of charges. The message played for callers to the
judge’s courtroom explains that seats are indeed limited. “This is a public trial, but it’s likely you will not get a seat,” the message says. Arias faces a potential death sentence if convicted of first-degree murder in the June 2008 killing of her onetime boyfriend at his suburban Phoenix home. Authorities say she planned the attack on Travis Alexander in a jealous rage. Arias initially denied involvement then later blamed it on masked intruders. Two years after her arrest, she said it was self-defense. The trial, which has included lurid details of the couple’s sex life and other personal information, continued Wednesday afternoon as the prosecution called additional witnesses ahead of closing arguments next week.

The new book group? NYC women form ‘Lean In’ circles By JOCELYN NOVECK
Mary Dove talks to a group of women at a “lean in” meeting April 16 in New York. The group is inspired by Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg’s book “Lean In,” which seeks to empower women in the workplace.
The Associated Press NEW YORK – “Remember – you are your own brand,” business coach Franne McNeal was telling some 100 women crowded into a downtown Manhattan office lounge one evening last week. “If you lean back, you are denying the universe your greatness. So lean in, shout out, and get comfortable with who you are! Tonight is about teamwork.” Sheryl Sandberg, the Facebook chief operating officer whose best-selling book, “Lean In,” inspired the meeting, would surely have been happy with the turnout. Her book, and the national discussion it seeks to launch, is aimed at helping women empower themselves in the workplace. On its final page, it suggests forming small circles to continue the conversation. The idea is about 10 people per group, but more than

10 times that number showed up last Tuesday in response to an open invitation on LinkedIn from Mary Dove, a New York psychotherapist. “Do we do ANYTHING small here in New York?” Dove asked the crowd with a smile. Many, though not all, the attendees had read “Lean In,” which came
out last month to a burst of publicity, blockbuster sales – and much controversy. Was Sandberg, as some of the negative reviewers asserted, essentially putting the blame on women for their inability to fully crack the glass ceiling? Was she giving a pass to government and employers, and instead firing, as one USA Today columnist
wrote, the “latest salvo in the war on moms?” Not surprisingly, the women at the New York meeting were fans of the book, saying that in Sandberg’s anecdotes they’d found much to recognize from their own lives – especially instances when they “leaned back.” Lauren Tilstra, 27, had just read the book on a beach in Latin America, during a break between jobs. In an interview, she recalled that at her previous job, when her boss and mentor left, she realized she wasn’t getting a seat at the table anymore – and wasn’t being aggressive about claiming one. “I was being left out of conversations,” says Tilstra, of Hoboken, N.J. “I was kind of leaning back, and not getting into things that were going on. That’s when I realized I had to find somewhere I could lean in.” At her new job, which she began just this week, she hopes to gain a leadership role and build her own team.

Red Cross volunteers deliver disaster kits

School service projects reinforce community By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com

Red Cross volunteer Dean Richardson receives a hug from Evergreen Village Mobile Home Park resident Yesse Vega, 9, during a trip Wednesday to hand out cleaning supplies and disaster kits to those living in the park in Sycamore. The DeKalb County Red Cross Disaster Action Team estimated about 300 items were handed out to the residents of the community that was recently flooded because of recent heavy rains. Among the items were trash bags, shovels, rakes, tarps and gloves. The Red Cross plans to visit the community again today for the third day in a row to distribute water.
DeKALB – Old prom dresses. Pop tops. Gently used stuffed animals. These are some of the things DeKalb students at Huntley and Clinton Rosette middle schools have been donating to benefit local charities. For the past month, students at Huntley and Clinton Rosette middle schools have been working on various community service projects. Holly Wesson, a special education teacher at Clinton Rosette, said the students took the lead on their different projects. “The kids are coming up with creative ideas to give back to the community,” Wesson said.

Event offers kids tips for active lifestyles By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Parents and children will have the opportunity to learn tips on maintaining a healthy lifestyle at a free event Saturday at Kishwaukee Family YMCA. At the same time, participants will be able to experience different activities such as Zumba, tai chi, face painting, and a police dog demonstration, said Heather Eade, the Y’s marketing director. During this time, members of the DeKalb Leadership Academy will be holding a Bike Rodeo, Eade said about the Kishwaukee Family YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day. “They set up a little town,

Eade said children can bring in their own bicycles, and that academy members will do safety checks on their bikes. DeKalb and Sycamore police also will be on hand for bike registration. Organizers are expecting about 400 people to attend the event. The YMCA publishes annual findings from its survey of parents on how much physical activity their children get during the school year. In 2013, the YMCA’s Family Health Snapshot found that 19 percent of children get 60 minutes of physical activity and 12 percent eat at least eight fruits and vegetables daily. Eade said she thinks the lack of physical activity for children might be because of a
lack of opportunity. “It’s not an unwillingness to do it,” Eade said. “When we do engage kids in these types of activities, they are more than willing to participate. It might be a lack of opportunity.” Debbie Meadley, the development director at Kishwaukee YMCA, said it’s important for people to be aware of the health risks associated with childhood obesity. “It’s extremely important to create awareness for families to prevent these chronic health issues in the future,” Meadley said. If exercise is fun and engaging, Eade said children will not realize that exercise is a chore. “We hope they learn that getting exercise can be fun.”
service projects within their advisory periods – a class that meets once a week to fulfill state-mandated social and emotional learning. Wesson’s advisory period will be donating dresses and other formal business attire to Northern Illinois University’s Women’s Resource Center for the center’s Project Prom. Project Prom is a clothing drive the center hosts in which used dresses and suits are given to local high school students. Wesson said half of her students liked the idea, while the other half wanted to do a bake sale. “They will be selling cookies and juice to community members who will be dropping off dresses,” Wesson said. The items will be collected from 3 to 6 p.m. May 14 at Clinton Rosette.
Clinton Rosette counselor Jen Gammelgaard said the advisory service projects teach students how to contribute and be a part of the community-at-large. “Part of being a member of our community is learning about the larger community,” Gammelgaard said. At Huntley Middle School, students can approach different tables in their cafeteria and donate stuffed animals that will be given to needy children, or pop tops that will be donated to help the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings. Not every student is donating materials, though. Rocky Mills, a seventh-grade student at Huntley, said she’ll be picking up garbage inside and outside the school. “You keep it clean so it looks beautiful,” Mills said.

State sen. pleads guilty to misdemeanor charge CHICAGO – An Illinois state senator has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor after being accused last year of trying to board a flight with a gun. Donne Trotter’s attorney, Thomas Durkin, said his client entered a guilty plea to reckless conduct Wednesday in a plea deal, which the judge approved. Durkin said the deal calls for the conviction to be stricken if Trotter successfully completes a year of nonreporting court supervision. Trotter had faced a felony gun charge after security stopped him at O’Hare International Airport. His attorneys have said he worked a part-time security job and forgot the weapon was in a garment bag. Had Trotter been convicted of a felony, he could’ve lost his senate seat. Durkin called the deal “both fair and appropriate.” He added Trotter is “very relieved.”

low-income residents and those isolated from full-service grocery stores. She said the garden would
initially serve the Women, Infants & Children program, Veterans Assistance Commission, residents at Heritage Woods and families enrolled in Head Start. “It’s going to be a pretty massive garden,” Moulton said. “So we are always looking for any groups willing to work at the garden that need food.” The site will be the largest community garden in the county, but not the first. Many DeKalb and some Sycamore schools host community gardens that have produced more than 1,000 pounds of produce for local pantries in the past year, Moulton said.
was her passion and joy. Marie enjoyed walking, dancing and cooking. She loved flowers and growing things and it was evident in her garden at home. She was a person with tremendous energy and enthusiasm. Marie resided in Algonquin since 1949 and the wealth of friends she made over the years was very special to her. Survivors include her children, Astrid (Benny) Wood of Baton Rouge, La.,, Nicholas (Jarla) Oparyk of Cary and Andrew (Elizabeth) Oparyk of Sycamore; grandchildren, Shellie (Trent) Leach, Stella Wood, Kristina (Scott) Stuckel and Kayla (Randy) Sheridan, Candace, Henry, Natalie and Robert Mallin; great-grandchildren, Sullivan and Harrison Leach, Jameson Sheridan and Seth Stuckel.
The visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday, April 25, at Wait-Ross-Allanson Funeral & Cremation Services Chapel, 201 S. Main St., Algonquin. A funeral Mass will be celebrated at 2:30 p.m. Friday, April 26, at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church, 111 S. Hubbard St., Algonquin. Burial will follow in St. John Nepomucene Church Cemetery in Fox River Grove. The family requests memorials on her behalf be made to The American Heart Association.

Report: ‘Aggressive cellmates’ in prison feared By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Inmates at a maximum-security prison in southern Illinois reported concern about “aggressive cellmates” shortly before a string of killings at the penitentiary, according to a report by an independent group. The John Howard Association said several older inmates at Menard Correctional Center were anxious about the “younger and aggressive” inmates they were housed with when the prison monitoring
group visited Menard Correctional Center in December. A report the organization filed Tuesday also noted that inmates serving long sentences who are housed with inmates facing shorter stretches “can be problematic.” Three inmates at the prison in Chester, about 60 miles southeast of St. Louis, have been killed since Jan. 31, authorities said. One involved a murderer serving five life sentences who allegedly beat and strangled a younger cellmate who had 2½ years left behind bars.
lar, have a history of violence, and heightened tensions, but the crowding has made everything more tense. When bed space is so limited, it complicates ordinary operations, from getting food into a facility to housing assignments.” Randolph County State’s Attorney Jeremy Walker told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he filed a murder charge Tuesday in the third case, against 38-yearold Frank Wings. Wings is accused of fatally strangling his cellmate, 35-year-old William Crowder, on March 26.
Another involved a 64-yearold inmate who was allegedly beaten by his 23-year-old cellmate. Violence in the state’s correctional system, including inmate assaults on staff members, has drawn a spotlight because of crowding. There are more than 49,000 inmates in facilities designed for 32,100. “Tensions are very high due to the crowding,” said John Maki, executive director of the John Howard Association. “The crowding is what exacerbates everything, here. Prisons, Menard in particu-
Wings has been transferred to the maximum-security lockup in Pontiac. Walker said he faces a preliminary hearing May 23. Wings’ attorney, Lucas Liefer of Red Bud, declined comment on the case. Ill. Department of Corrections spokeswoman Stacey Solano stressed “an extensive review process” matches cellmates based on age and size, length of sentence, level of aggression and history of violence, gang affiliation and more. She said the inmate deaths have prompted officials to carefully review the policies.
“Inmates may request a cell change with security or counseling staff at any time,” Solano said. “The department carefully considers all requests and approves or denies based on the safety and security of inmates and facility.” Walker said the last Menard inmate homicide was in 2004. Corey Fox, serving a life sentence at Menard for a 2001 murder, killed a cellmate who was a first-time offender sent to Menard when he tested positive for crack cocaine in the minimum-security prison in which he had been held.
Relief in Midwest as river levels fall The ASSOCIATED PRESS PEORIA HEIGHTS – Slowly retreating floodwaters gave Midwesterners some hope Wednesday that the worst was over, but many worried that the earthen and days-old sandbag levees along the Illinois and Mississippi rivers could still fail. Fast-moving currents were testing makeshift protections around Dutchtown, Mo., where the Mississippi was expected to rise well above flood stage later this week and potentially send water into the scattered homes and businesses that comprise the tiny, unprotected river town. In Peoria, tens of thousands of white and yellow sandbags stacked 3 feet high lined blocks of the scenic riverfront, holding back Illinois River waters that already reached a 70-year high and surrounded the visitors’ center and restaurants in the 114-year-old former train depot. Across the street, smaller sandbag walls blocked riverside pedestrian access to the headquarters of heavy equipment maker Caterpillar and the arts and culture museum.
Despite the receding water, city leaders were reluctant to issue an all-clear. “I’m very pleased so far, but we’re not out of the woods,” Peoria City Manager Patrick Urich said. “The water’s going to stay up for a while.” Higher water levels over extended periods of time put significant pressure on levees regardless of how well they’re built. Sandbag walls are vulnerable because of their porous nature, and concerns persisted along the Mississippi River in southeast Missouri, where smaller levees had been overtopped or breached. Elsewhere, there were no reports of other significant Midwestern population centers in peril, but high water bedeviled business and home owners who are assessing damage across multiple states. • About a dozen northern Indiana homes were condemned and as many as 200 were damaged by flooding in Kokomo after downpours pushed the Wildcat Creek to its highest level on record. Residents took to the streets in canoes, and some people had to be rescued from their vehicles.

Bombing suspect describes plot By DAVID CRARY and RODRIQUE NGOWI The Associated Press
Activists lobby for immigration bill to include gay partners The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Frustrated at being left out of an immigration overhaul, gay rights groups are pushing to adjust a bipartisan Senate bill to include gay couples. But Democrats are treading carefully, wary of adding another divisive issue that could lose Republican support and jeopardize the entire bill. Both parties want the bill to succeed. Merely getting an agreement on the basic framework for the immigration overhaul, which would create a long and costly path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million people in the U.S. illegally, was no small feat for senators. And getting it through a divided Congress is still far from a done deal. Even so, gay rights groups, their lobbyists and grassroots supporters are insisting the deal shouldn’t exclude bi-national, same-sex couples – about 28,500 of them, according to a 2011 study from the Williams Institute at UCLA Law. They’re ramping up a campaign to change the bill to
allow gay Americans to sponsor their partners for green cards, the same way straight Americans can. Supporters trekked to the Capitol to make their case at senators’ offices Wednesday. “Opponents will be proposing amendments that, if passed, could collapse this very fragile coalition that we’ve been able to achieve,” Sen. John McCain, an Arizona Republican, said last week at the unveiling of the bill. He said the eight senators from both parties who crafted the legislation are committed to voting against changes that could kill it. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, has committed to offering an amendment to the bill to allow gay citizens to sponsor their partners, said Ty Cobb, an attorney and lobbyist with the Human Rights Campaign, a gay rights group. Another Democratic senator, Al Franken of Minnesota, pledged in a Judiciary hearing on the bill Monday to do “everything we can” to adjust the bill.
Evolution Ballet of
BOSTON – The surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings acknowledged to the FBI his role in the attacks but did so before he was advised of his constitutional rights to keep quiet and seek a lawyer, officials said Wednesday. It is unclear whether those statements would be admissible in a criminal trial and, if not, whether prosecutors even need them to win a conviction. Officials said physical evidence, including a 9 mm handgun and pieces of a remote-control device commonly used in toys, was recovered from the scene. The suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, told authorities that his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, only recently recruited him to be part of the attack, two U.S. officials said. The CIA, however, named Tamerlan to a terrorist database 18 months ago, officials said Wednesday, an acknowledgment that will

Tamerlan, whom authorities have described as the driving force behind the plot, was killed in a shootout with police. Dzhokhar is recovering in a hospital from injuries suffered during a getaway attempt. Authorities had previously said Dzhokhar exchanged gunfire with them for more than an hour Friday night be-
fore they captured him inside a boat covered by a tarp in a suburban Boston neighborhood backyard. But two U.S. officials said Wednesday that he was unarmed when captured, raising questions about the gunfire and how he was injured. More than 4,000 mourners at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology paid tribute to a campus police officer who authorities say was gunned down by the bombing suspects. Among the speakers in Cambridge, just outside Boston, was Vice President Joe Biden, who condemned the bombing suspects as “two twisted, perverted, cowardly, knockoff jihadis.” Investigators have said the brothers appeared to have been radicalized through jihadist materials on the Internet and have found no evidence tying them to a terrorist group. Dzhokhar told the FBI that they were angry about the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the killing of Muslims there, officials said.

10 years later, iTunes faces new challenges By NEKESA MUMBI MOODY The Associated Press NEW YORK – When Apple launched its iTunes music store a decade ago amid the ashes of Napster, the music industry – reeling from the effects of online piracy – was anxious to see how the new music service would shake out. “The sky was falling, and iTunes provided a place where we were going to monetize music and in theory stem the tide of piracy. So, it was certainly a solution for the time,” said Michael McDonald, who co-founded ATO Records with Dave Matthews and whose Mick Management roster includes John Mayer and Ray LaMontagne. The iTunes music store became more than a solution; it changed how we consume music and access entertainment. It’s not only music’s biggest retailer, it also dominates the digital video market, capturing 67 percent of the TV show sale market and 65 percent of the movie sale market, accord-

Its apps are the most profitable, it has expanded to books and magazines, and it is now available in 119 countries. This week, iTunes posted a record $2.4 billion in revenue in first-quarter earnings. “They revolutionized the retail landscape by making a truly interactive and very user-friendly space and platform, and they managed to do it by keeping a great music experience attached to what was very difficult technology,” said Scott Borchetta, head of Big Machine Records, home to Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw and Rascal Flatts. “They made
it very easy to buy music digitally, and that’s why I think they’ve run so quickly in the lead for that space and continue to dominate the space.” But as iTunes celebrates its 10-year mark Sunday, it faces renewed scrutiny on how it will continue to dominate in the next decade – or whether it can. With competition from subscription services like Spotify, Amazon.com, Netflix, Hulu and others, iTunes will likely need to reinvent itself to remain at the top of the digital entertainment perch. Apple Inc.’s Eddy Cue, senior vice president of Internet software and services, refused to comment on reports that the company will launch a radio service or some other service to compete with Spotify. “We’ve been able to add and expand and do a lot of things to make the product even that much better,” said Cue, who was integral to the creation of iTunes. “Why it’s going to be great for the next 10 years is because people still want access and want more of what’s available today.”

Suspect had previous convictions • SHOOTING Continued from page A1 Scott County State’s Attorney Michael Hill said Smith, of rural Morgan County, had previous convictions for reckless homicide, drugs and bad checks. Manchester Mayor Ronald Drake confirmed that Smith was his nephew, saying he hadn’t spoken to Smith in two years, but he believed his nephew was unemployed. Drake said the last time Smith contacted him was to borrow tools. In Manchester, yellow police tape surrounded the small one-story brick home where the victims were found. Manchester is a village of about 300 residents located about 50 miles west of Springfield. “It’s a close-knit community,” Drake said. “Everybody talks to everybody. ... We enjoy that goes on [in] town. This is just a tragedy for [the] whole town.” The last homicide in Scott County was 20 years ago, in 1993. Manchester resident Julie

In wake of dog’s death, blastomycosis warning To the Editor: Three weeks ago our beloved Golden Doodle named Sophie had to be put to sleep after a short illness due to blastomycosis. Blastomycosis is a fungal infection that a dog can get from
spores left in the soil by rotting wood and vegetation near waterways. Blastomycosis is often misdiagnosed as pneumonia and can be fatal if not treated quickly. It is too late for us, but knowing the symptoms may save another dog’s life from this disease. Here are the most common signs and symptoms of blastomycosis: Cough, shortness of breath, loss of muscle tone, especially in the back legs, skin lesions, pain, swelling, excessive tearing, clouding of the corneas and even blindness. After hearing of another dog who was diagnosed with Blastomycosis in the same area we live, we believe with the recent cutting down of old trees in a park near us, Sophie may have contracted the infection from that. Be aware of any of these symptoms that your dog may have and take them to your veterinarian’s office immediately. Becki Owens DeKalb
New immigration bill has one terrible flaw “Amnesty” is the swear word many conservatives apply to the new bipartisan immigration bill. The same invective was used to sink the last major attempt to change American immigration laws, during President George W. Bush’s second term. Some critics say that offering legal status to illegal immigrants is simply wrong in principle. Yet that isn’t the most troubling aspect of the bill. What ought to be drawing more opposition is the proposal to bring hundreds of thousands of “temporary guest workers” to the United States. That’s not to deny that legalization poses risks of its own. If enforcement of the laws is lax, it could encourage more people to come here illegally in the hope of the next round of legalization. If we can be reasonably assured of strong enforcement, on the other hand, offering legal status to many or most undocumented immigrants already in the U.S. may be the best way to handle past policy mistakes. Although there’s room to argue about whether the bill offers this assurance, Sen. Marco Rubio and other supporters of the legislation are right in principle to offer legal status. The guest-worker program is where they go wrong. For the Republican politicians who have in the past been its main supporters, this provision is like a dessert with no calories: Businesses get the benefit of the temporary workers’ labor and they get to make some money, but the rest of us don’t have to make room for immigrants in our society, and Republicans don’t have to worry how they will vote. That’s exactly what’s wrong with the idea. One of the worst things about illegal immigration is that it creates a class of
VIEWS Ramesh Ponnuru people who contribute their labor to this country but aren’t full participants in it and lack the rights and responsibilities of everyone else. A guest-worker program doesn’t solve this problem. It formalizes it. So we would have a two-tiered labor market. Most people who work in the U.S. can quit their jobs without worrying that they’ll be ejected from the country after 60 days of unemployment. Temporary workers would have no such security. Most people can leave one industry for another. The temporary agricultural workers in the bill would have no such freedom. Some foreigners may choose this fate as better than their alternatives. It seems unfair, though, to ask Americans to compete with workers who will be more willing to put up with bad working conditions because of this artificially precarious situation. Organized labor and its liberal allies have traditionally opposed guest-worker programs. President Bill Clinton came out strongly against the idea when he was in office, citing the work of Barbara Jordan’s bipartisan commission on immigration. That commission found that such programs were bad for workers and didn’t reduce illegal immigration as advertised. Instead they increased it: Guest workers overstayed their terms, and family members and friends came to join them. This time around, union leaders are going along with the guest-worker program.
Perhaps they think it’s a price worth paying to legalize illegal immigrants, and that after it passes they can push to liberalize the program to make it easier for guest workers to become citizens. In that case, the program will end up backfiring on the Republican politicians who most avidly support it. If they say no to liberalization, they will be portrayed as anti-Hispanic – the very image they are trying to dispel by backing this bill. If they say yes, they will be increasing the number of low-wage voters, which is what they wanted to avoid by supporting a guest-worker program. Enforcing the program’s limits would involve similarly bad choices. One of the chief arguments for this bill is to stop enforcing immigration laws in ways that break up families. What happens when a guest worker has finished his three-year term and has no job – but has brought his family here? (Or had a child, who would be a U.S. citizen?) Will we then deport him? Or will we just let him overstay his visa and go into the shadows as an illegal immigrant? Supporters of the bill should rethink these provisions. Opponents should train their fire on them. Many Americans support legalizing illegal immigrants because it seems more humane and practical than mass deportations. Guest-worker programs seem at odds with those impulses, because they’re neither humane nor practical.

April 9’s consolidated election saw some incumbents go down in defeat in contested elections. Voters had enough. They were ready for change. But, what if city councils, village boards and township boards had the authority to approve an ordinance that protected those incumbents from losing?

The results brought more Democrats to the Legislature and Illinois’ congressional delegation, but less accountability at the ballot box, less responsiveness to the public, and less incentive to work across the aisle to solve problems. Other states have wisely reduced the influence of politics in the redistricting process while still complying with the Voting Rights Act. In a week, the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute will examine how Illinoisans might learn from those states. The Simon Institute plans a public seminar from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday in Springfield titled “Who holds the crayons? How other states draw legislative district lines.” The Simon Institute, based at SIU-Carbondale, will not endorse any particular plan, but its director, David Yepsen, believes the state’s current redistricting system contributes to Illinois leaders’ inability to solve “some of the biggest financial problems faced by any state in the country.” The symposium will take place at the Inn at 835, 835 S. Second St., Springfield. To register, contact Carol Greenlee, Simon Institute project coordinator, at 618-453-4078, or register online at illinoisredistricting.eventbrite.com.

8 ANOTHER VIEW
Fliers but pawns as Dems angle for tax increase President Barack Obama and his team don’t have to worry about commercial flight delays. Maybe that helped secure the decision to begin furloughing air traffic controllers this week, leading to delays at the nation’s airports and the Democrats’ finger of blame pointed at tax-averse Republicans. The administration claims that, because of the sequester-related budget cuts, it has no choice but to furlough all 47,000 Federal Aviation Administration employees, ordering them each to stay home one of every 10 days between now and September. That is, we are told, the only way the agency can achieve the required $500 million in cuts. It’s nonsense, of course. The agency has refused to consider reducing its workforce to help achieve the savings, in areas that would not directly affect air safety. Nope, not a single deputy-assistant to the deputy-assistant can be spared. Not an ounce of fat in the personnel budget. As for sparing the 15,000 air traffic controllers the furloughs, instead imposing them solely on nonsafety-related jobs, well, they’ve said no to that, too. Meanwhile Democrats in the Senate have refused to consider legislation that would allow the administration more flexibility in imposing the sequester-related cuts. Offered an escape hatch, they’ve chosen to wallow in the inconvenience. Because, of course, it’s all about the inconvenience. The inconvenience is what furthers the cause – another major tax increase. Forget the impact on the economy when business travel is stalled, airline schedules up-ended, shipments of inventory delayed or canceled, or when a family heading on a summer trip decides to avoid the hassle and stay home. According to House Republicans, the FAA’s $10 billion operating budget has increased 110 percent since 1996, and includes $2.7 billion in nonpersonnel costs. By no means should these cuts cripple the commercial aviation system, but in the interest of scoring political points, they might. Boston Herald

Barbs settle for tie against Knights By ANTHONY ZILIS sports@daily-chronicle.com AP photo
Noah, Johnson hobbled; series heads to Chicago DEERFIELD – Joakim Noah feels like he’s running on needles and Joe Johnson can probably sympathize. The Bulls and Nets resume their first-round series in Chicago on Thursday after splitting the first two games in Brooklyn, and both teams have key players battling a similar injury. Noah remains hobbled by plantar fasciitis in his right foot, and Johnson is dealing with it in his left one. He sat out practice on Wednesday and is a game-time decision, meaning the Nets could be without one of their top scorers. “We have a lot of guys we can lean on,” Brook Lopez said. “We have to obviously worry about playing better defense, playing with better energy and tenacity. I think a lot will depend on how our frontcourt reacts to what they’re throwing at us.” Some of that might hinge on just how much Noah can contribute for the Bulls. Coach Tom Thibodeau said the Bulls’ center participated in most of Wednesday’s practice and there were no setbacks after playing about 25 minutes in Game 2 on Monday. Noah provided a big spark in that one with 11 points and 10 rebounds, and the Bulls pulled even in the series. – Wire report
DeKALB – The DeKalb girls soccer team knew in order to beat Kaneland for the second time this season, they’d have to test Kaneland goalkeeper Jordan Ginther plenty of times. As it turned out, Ginther had a relatively relaxing day, as Kaneland controlled the tempo for most of the game. The Barbs didn’t force her to make a save until nine minutes remained in the match. “We knew that we had to get shots off with Ginther in goal.

Ginther didn’t handle the ball until just more than three minutes remained in the half, when Ayslin Nachman was played through by Kayla Perkins and Ginther was there to scoop up the pass. “We came out flat in my opinion,” DeKalb coach Phil Rouse said. “The runs that we normally make, the 50-50 balls that we normally win, the accuracy, it just wasn’t there today, and sometimes you come out and play your best and you hope you can find it toward the end.”

eKALB – Before the 2012 Mid-American Conference Championship Game, the MAC held a conference call with representatives from Northern Illinois and Kent State. The winner had a shot at going to a BCS bowl game, which meant a special experience and great exposure for the
program, but also some hefty expenses and a big-ticket commitment that would be extremely tough for a smaller program to fulfill. The conference decided it would help the winning school, which ended up being NIU after a 44-37 victory in double overtime at Ford Field in Detroit, should it earn a BCS bid. NIU had the dominoes fall the right way and earned a trip to the Orange
Bowl. The conference then helped cover NIU’s expenses, the biggest part of which was paying for the allotment of 17,500 tickets. Playing in the Orange Bowl also required staying in South Florida for an entire week. Not to mention, the Huskies stayed at the luxurious Fontainebleau Hotel on Miami Beach.
See HUSKIES, page B3
“We made that arrangement before the game, which was really historic and unique and signiicantly different from other non-AQs with the opportunity to go to a BCS bowl game. There’s other schools [that have competed in BCS games] that were on the hook, so the Mid-American Conference really stepped up.” Christian Spears NIU acting athletic director

On the morning of Jan. 2, Melvin and the rest of the Northern Illinois football team left Miami International Airport for their trek back to DeKalb after a 31-10 loss to Florida State in the Orange Bowl. The next day, Melvin started preparing for the rest of his football career. The now-former NIU corner who led the Mid-American Conference with 17 pass breakups this past season, went back to work, preparing for NIU’s pro day and, eventually, the NFL Draft.
“I felt for me to show my best I needed to start working early,” Melvin told the Daily Chronicle. “I felt that was the best decision I made.” Melvin spent the offseason working out at EFT Sports Performance in Highland Park, trying to get stronger and working on speed training and Rashaan strengthening his Melvin legs, trying to get his 40-yard dash time down. He graduated from NIU back in December, giving him the opportunity to soley focus on football. Size has never been an issue for

Renaud earns his third weekly accolade of the season after registering one win and three saves in four appearances last week. On April 17, the Sugar Grove native worked two innings of clean baseball in the first game, only to respond with four innings in the second stanza, while striking out three and allowing just two hits. After earning a pair of saves to open the week, Renaud returned to the mound Saturday and earned the win in two innings of work. In the series finale, the UMSL senior went four innings, allowing four hits, one earned run, while striking out seven to secure his third save of the game.

Kozak, Mitchell Jordan, Cooper Vinz and Alex Keller each had two RBIs for Sycamore (12-4, 5-1 Northern Illinois Big 12 East). “We played really well as a team,” Sycamore coach Jason Cavanaugh said. “We played great defense.

Cogs stop Burlington Central: Genoa-Kingston shut out Burlington Central, 3-0, at home for its third win of the season. Bobby Treadwell threw a complete game, allowing only four hits while striking out nine batters for his first win of the season. Brady Huffman was 2 for 3 with an RBI and Ben Graff finished 1 for 2 with an RBI. Ben Rabe was 2 for 4 with a run and stolen base for the Cogs (3-10, 2-2 Big Northern Conference). “Our pitching staff has been outstanding this year,” G-K coach Anson Ellis said.

nings and had three strikeouts before leaving the game with an injury. Garrett Johnson and Patrick Aves had hits for DeKalb (6-9, 1-4 NI Big 12 East). The Barbs host Morris today. Indian Creek salvages tie: Hiawatha defeated Indian Creek, 5-2, in the first game of a doubleheader, but the Timberwolves rallied for a 1-1 tie in the nightcap. Drew Headley was 1 for 2 with a walk in the first game. Chris Pickwell pitched six innings on the day and allowed only one hit with seven strikeouts. Dylan Martenson got the game-tying hit in the fifth inning of the second game. “I thought we battled hard. In the first game, their first four guys scored to start the game,” Indian Creek coach Joe Piekarz said. “After a rocky start, we did a nice job of finishing up, allowing two runs the rest of the day.” Mike Mercado got the win for Hiawatha, giving up one hit while striking out five.

Jasmyne Taylor had a home run and two RBIs. “McKenna did a great job of letting her defense work behind her,” Sycamore coach Jill Carpenter said. “Brit Huber made a couple of big saves at firstst base and our outfield play was good. Offensively we strung a few hits together which was nice to see. We had a big third inning and then tacked on a couple more in the fourth to give us some real breathing room.” Sycamore is 5-11 and plays Rochelle today.

PASADENA, Calif. – The grandest stage in sports was too much for the guys who are putting together the College Football Playoff to pass up. The BCS conference commissioners announced Wednesday that Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, edged Tampa, Fla., in the bidding to be the site of the first championship game in the new playoff system.
Valverde welcomed back as Tigers closer DETROIT – Jose Valverde wasn’t supposed to come back. After his postseason meltdowns against Oakland and the Yankees, the Detroit Tigers didn’t even offer him a contract at the end of last season. Flame-throwing prospect Bruce Rondon looked set to be the new closer, even if he had never pitched an inning in the major leagues. It didn’t quite work out that way. And now Valverde is back on the team. And he went right to work Wednesday night, getting the final three outs for a save in the Tigers’ 7-5 victory over Kansas City. He gets $2 million in base salary. Because he missed the first 3½ weeks of the season, the listed salary on the contract is $2,301,887. Valverde can earn up to $3 million in performance bonuses if he finishes 50 games. He will be paid $500,000 apiece for 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 games finished. – Staff, wire reports

Baylie Ullmark pitched the final four innings, allowing only one earned run. “The game was so much closer than that,” G-K coach Mike Lauer said. “We had four errors in the seventh inning and they got five runs. it was just a bad inning.” Engel was 2 for 4 with a double and a triple while Paige Keegan was 2 for 4 with a double. Ullmark went 2 for 3 at the plate for the Cogs (7-3, 2-2 BNC). Hawks claim DH sweep: Hiawatha swept a doubleheader with Indian Creek, winning, 5-3 and, 24-3. Ashley Tamraz was the winning pitcher in Game 1, giving up no earned runs in a five-inning complete-game effort. Tamraz went 1 for 1 with a walk and an RBI at the plate, while Abby Turner was 1 for 3 with a double. Dani Clark got the win in Game 2, and went 3 for 5 at the plate with a homer and a triple. Alanna Sterling had two doubles and an RBI for the Hawks, while Lauren Watson and Haley Melendez were each 2 for 4. The Hawks are now 5-6 and 5-5 in Little Ten play.

ANALYSIS: WHITE SOX 3, INDIANS 2
Sox finally win a close one CHICAGO – For better or worse, the White Sox have become accustomed to playing in close ballgames. Unfortunately for the Sox, they have found themselves typically on the losing side. They were able to halt the trend for at least one day with a 3-2 win against the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday to snap a fourgame losing streak. Eighteen of the Sox’s 20 games have been decided by three runs or less, going 6-11 in those games, which includes a 5-6 record in one-run games. Alex Rios’ twoNext for run homer in the Sox the fifth gave the Sox a 3-0 Tampa Bay lead and ultiat White Sox, mately saved the Sox (8-12). 7:10 p.m. today, CSN+, The Indians (811) responded AM-670 with two runs in the sixth and stranded the tying run on third. “It’s not an easy thing to do when you play games this close all year, but you have to battle through these things,” Rios said. “It’s a long season and we’re going to go through stretches like this, hopefully not too many.” Starting pitching again saved the Sox. Jose Quintana
VIEWS Meghan Montemurro (2-0) held Cleveland to two runs in five innings and set a career high in consecutive scoreless innings pitched (18⅔), which ended on Jason Kipnis’ RBI single in the sixth. “All I’m trying to do is take it inning by inning, hitter by hitter,” Quintana said through a translator. “That’s about it, just doing the little things to control the game.” Although the Sox found a way to win Wednesday, their brand of baseball – a reliance on home runs and an inability to string consecutive base hits – isn’t conducive to long-term success. They aren’t producing with runners in scoring position (1 for 8 against Cleveland), continuing a season-long problem. The Sox have scored two runs or fewer seven times this season and also have been held to five hits or less seven times, including Wednesday’s win (five hits). “When it’s a group and you’re not getting it done consistently, it’s tough on everybody, it’s not just tough on me,” manager Robin Ventura said. “I’ve been on their side, too, and know what’s it like sitting there and I’ve
been the problem. I get it. Eventually, it moves on and you just keep playing.” The Sox can’t survive on solid starting pitching and an efficient bullpen the entire season if the offense doesn’t show up on a consistent basis. Each starting pitcher will have his fair share of rough outings and the bullpen will blow leads, however, none of that matters if the Sox can’t score. In 2012, every playoff team outscored their opponents by at least 56 runs. Currently, opponents have outscored the Sox by six runs. The Sox are getting tired of talking about their noshow offense, and only 16,765 came to U.S. Cellular Field to watch them scratch together three runs. It’s shaping up to be a long summer on the South Side. “I feel like that’s part of the game: Sometimes the offense will be there, sometimes it won’t,” Quintana said. “But the main thing for me is to do my job that way I can help the team.”

CINCINNATI – Todd Frazier gave Mat Latos all the run support he needed, and Latos gave the Cincinnati Reds exactly what they needed to finish off a 10-game homestand in style. Latos retired the first 10 batters and 15 of the first 16 he faced and mostly spared an overworked bullpen, and Frazier hit a long home run and the Reds beat the Cubs, 1-0, on Wednesday. “This is what we wanted so bad,” Reds manager Baker said. “This sets us straight for a couple of days.” With one out in the sixth inning of a scoreless tie, Frazier blasted a 2-1 pitch from Jeff Samardzija 480 feet to straightaway center to increase his Next for field team-leading home the Cubs run total to six. The homer, which Cubs at Mi- bounced high off ami, 6:10 p.m. the batter’s eye, is today, WCIU, the longest at Great AM-720 American Ball Park this season and the seventh-longest in the facility’s 11-year history. “I was just trying to get a fastball,” said Frazier, who became the first Cincinnati player to homer in a 1-0 win since Sean Casey against St. Louis on Aug. 26, 2004. “I haven’t seen too many lately. I got one, and I took advantage of it. I took a couple of steps and figured it was out, but I didn’t know how far until I saw it hit the [batter’s eye].” Latos (1-0), the victim of two blown saves among his first four starts this season allowed four hits and a walk with four strikeouts. He had to rely solely on his two- and four-seam fastballs, too. It turned out not to be a problem. “In the bullpen, I had a really good slider and change up,” said Latos, who’s strung together 11 consecutive scoreless innings. “I don’t know what the hell happened. It’s tough. Everybody in the big leagues can hit the fastball. I had to focus on hitting spots, keeping the ball down and away and getting them to hit it on the ground.”

Who the Bears might take Below are seven possible picks if the Bears remain at No. 20. But don’t be surprised if general manager Phil Emery selects an unexpected player instead. After all, who predicted that he would hire a head coach from the Canadian Football League?

Bears have options heading into draft By TOM MUSICK tmusick@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – “And with the 20th pick in the first round of the NFL draft, the Chicago Bears select …” Wait, you wanted us to finish that sentence? Hang on until sometime after 9 p.m., and we should have an answer for you. Then again, it’s possible that the Bears will trade down in the draft, and everyone will have to stay up past bedtime (or wait until Friday) for a selection. Barring any trades, the Bears have the No. 20 overall pick in today’s first round. They also have a pick in the second round (No. 50) Friday, as well as selections in fourth round (No. 117), fifth round (No. 153) and sixth round (No. 188) Saturday. As for the Bears’ thirdround selection, that belongs to the Miami Dolphins because of the Brandon Marshall trade. That deal worked out all
NFL Draft The first round of the NFL Draft starts at 7 p.m. today. The draft will be televised on ESPN. The Bears should announce their selection approximately at 9:15 p.m. right, we think. Meanwhile, the Bears’ seventh-round selection bounced to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and then to the New England Patriots. Think of it as a hot-potato pick. Maybe it will change hands a few more times in the days ahead. But what matters most is today’s first round. The Bears and every other team are allotted 10 minutes to make their selections, although some will decide faster. In 2012, the first round finished in three hours on the nose. That equaled about 5 minutes and 37 seconds a pick, and if that pace holds true today, then the Bears should announce their selection at 9:15 p.m. or so.

Barbs still undefeated in NI Big 12 • BARBS Continued from page B1 Early in the second half, the Knights once again went on the offensive. Courtney Diddell knocked a shot just over the crossbar just five minutes in. The Barbs (4-1-2, 3-0-1 NI Big 12 East) finally forced Ginther to work with nine minutes left, when Beaty took a shot off a cross from Kelli Cardine just outside the sixyard box. Ginther blocked the shot, and defender Anne Marie Giese cleared away the rebound. With more than three minutes remaining, Cardine had a hard shot from outside the box blocked by Kaneland freshman Sage Schlehofer. One minute later, Abby Hickey was through on goal, but Delaney Stryczek was
“We didn’t play well enough to win. We put a lot of pressure on them in the last 10 minutes and [Ginther] made a tremendous save. … We should’ve had more opportunities but we weren’t accurate enough today to run the style that we play. Sometimes you don’t play as well as you’d like.” Phil Rouse, DeKalb girls soccer coach
there for a game-saving tackle. After controlling play for most of the game, the Knights (3-4-2, 3-1-1) narrowly escaped with a tie. “We were definitely more aggressive and we were going to the ball first,” Kaneland senior Brooke Harner said. “We were possessing with one-two touch, it was a quicker game and you could tell we wanted it.” The Barbs are still unde-
feated in conference play, but Rouse thought his team could have been better. “We didn’t play well enough to win,” Rouse said. “We put a lot of pressure on them in the last 10 minutes and [Ginther] made a tremendous save. … We should’ve had more opportunities but we weren’t accurate enough today to run the style that we play. Sometimes you don’t play as well as you’d like.”
NIU received $1.3M from conference • HUSKIES Continued from page B1 The school’s total expenses topped $1 million. Thanks to the MAC’s distribution to the university of more than $1.3 million, NIU ended up with a net gain of more than $253,000 from its Orange Bowl trip. The $1.3 million NIU received was the university’s share from the $8 million in BCS revenue the MAC was given. “We made that arrangement before the game, which was really historic and unique and significantly different from other non-AQs with the opportunity to go to a BCS bowl game,” said NIU acting athletic director Christian Spears, who was part of the conference call back in November. “There’s other schools [that have competed in BCS games] that were on the hook, so the Mid-American Conference really stepped up.” After competing in the GoDaddy.com Bowl in January of 2012, NIU had a net loss of
$161,558. Over the past five bowl games, the only other time the school has came away with a net gain was in 2010, when NIU made $50,097 after the Humanitarian Bowl. NIU’s BCS appearance was the first in the history of the conference, and netted the league the $8 million payout to redistribute to its member schools. In this situation, Spears said the conference wanted to make sure NIU was covered when it came to finances. “Their commitment to us was to ensure that our expenses, from a hotel perspective, from a ticket perspective and from a travel perspective, were completely covered, so that we were made whole,” Spears said. “What we did is managed that budget really effectively, which allowed us to have a net gain.” Debra Boughton, NIU associate athletic director for business affairs, said there is also roughly $4 million remaining from the BCS that
will be divided among the MAC’s 13 football schools. The division of that revenue will be decided at a meeting in May. When it comes to BCS games, it hasn’t always been a success story financially for participating schools. Connecticut’s trip to the Fiesta Bowl in 2011 infamously cost that school $1.8 million. Selling 17,500 tickets can be a daunting task for any MAC program or non-AQ school. Although NIU sold only 3,266 Orange Bowl tickets, the league stepped in to help. “When you look at an Orange Bowl contract that wants you to purchase 17,500 tickets, that’s a conversation that you’ve got to have with a lot of different people on this task, to actually commit to that kind of resource,” Spears said. “So to know before we had to sign that contract that that part was off the table, was an amazing thing we were able to accomplish with the Mid-American Conference.”
Melvin worked out with numerous teams • MELVIN Continued from page B1 Since pro day, Melvin has visited the Buccaneers, Colts, Lions, Packers and Seahawks. He had workouts at NIU with the Broncos, 49ers and Patriots, in addition to the Buccaneers and Colts. He also participated in the Bears’ annual local pro day in Lake Forest.
This weekend, Melvin is going to spend time with his family in his hometown of Waukegan. At this point, he feels he’s done a good job of controlling what he can. If he is selected in the seven rounds of this weekend’s draft, he would become the first Huskies defensive back to ever be selected. He said the time period leading up to the draft has taken patience, focus and work.
He’s waiting for the draft to get here, and most of all, getting ready to get back on the football field. Not a bad situation for a guy who came to NIU as a walk-on. “It’s a blessing to have this opportunity. A lot of guys don’t have this opportunity to be drafted or play in the NFL,” Melvin said. “I’m just taking it one day at a time and am pretty much excited.”

SPOTLIGHT ON ... DAVID EMANUEL Sophomore, pitcher, Indian Creek It’s not often Indian Creek coach Joe Piekarz gets to work with a lefty pitcher. It’s even rarer he has two – starter Chris Pickwell is also a left hander – on the roster. As a crafty lefty who had a self-proclaimed rubber arm, Piekarz provides a unique approach when working with his two left handers. “They’ve probably both had real good coaches growing up,” Piekarz said. “But they were probably all right-handed. Lefties just do things a little differently. We think differently out there. We’ll change up speeds. Hit every part of the outside corner. There aren’t a lot of us out there but we can frustrate hitters and shut down a running game.”

Separation atop the Little Ten begins Friday. Aurora Christian at Indian Creek at Elfstrom Stadium, 4:30 p.m., Friday Indian Creek heads to the home of the Kane County Cougars for a make up game from earlier this season. The T’wolves pitching depth will be tested with five games in four days to end the week.

Barbs’ win was dramatic tribute By JAMES NOKES sports@daily-chronicle.com It was a fitting ending that DeKalb posted a 6-5 win Saturday against Dixon in their last at-bat. On the day that the Barbs’ field was dedicated to Dave Pettengell, DeKalb grounded out a gutsy win the late DeKalb baseball coach and assistant athletic director would have loved. “We got big two-out hits,” DeKalb coach Jake Howells said. “This year we’ve had games where we either get hit after hit or nothing. Saturday, we didn’t let a bad swing, bad at-bat or tough call in a pitch sequence bother us. Everyone has said Dave wouldn’t have had us win that game any other way.” Starting pitcher Shaun Johnson (2-2) picked up the win despite allowing an 3-1 lead to the Dukes. “He didn’t have his best stuff early,” Howells said. “But, he really settled down in the middle innings. He has his best stuff in the fourth, fifth and sixth, kept us in the game and gave us a chance to score.”
Streaking Spartans Stellar pitching has Sycamore riding a

Sycamore’s Cole Nelson delivers a pitch to DeKalb batter Jared Johnson during the bottom of the third inning of the Spartans’ 4-2 victory Monday in DeKalb. seven-game winning streak. The Spartans staff has allowed four runs in its last five games and had a pair of shutouts against Rockford Jefferson on Saturday. Sycamore coach Jason Cavanaugh is optimistic about the Spartans’ long-term potential because of two reasons that are apparent, and one that has yet to reveal itself. One is the Spartans having a solid pitching staff.
Also, the Sycamore defense is rounding into form as Michael Swanberg, who Cavanaugh said “has no fear of the ball and will put his face in front of anything,” has moved to shortstop and Alec Kozak to right field, a move that should bolster each position. But the Sycamore offense has yet to kick into full gear. Nathan Haacker leads the Spartans with a .429 batting average, but the rest of the Spartans have yet to show consistency at the plate. Cavanaugh doesn’t want home runs or even home-run swings from hitters, just a willingness to string together solid at-bats with ground balls or line drives. Take that approach and eventually a ball will split the gap for a double or find its way over the fence for a round tripper. Mitchell Jordan has the school career home-run record in his sights, but hasn’t homered yet this year. “So far the good work we do in batting practice hasn’t translated to the game,” Cavanaugh said. “We’ve got to put more pressure on defenses. But none of the teams we’ve played have really hit it all over the field either.”
Football mentality is needed this spring Layered clothing isn’t the only thing normally reserved for football season that has crept into this baseball season. With extended periods between games because of rain and cold, baseball teams face the same mental challenge as football teams. Gone have been the fourgame weeks where everyone on a roster gets into a game, pitchers build up their endurance and the everyone settles into a familiar rhythm. “The great thing about baseball is you play so many games you can get over a good one or a bad one quickly,” DeKalb coach Jake Howells said. “This year it’s like we’ve been in football mode though. We’ve got to live with our successes or failures for a long period of time.” “The one thing the weather has made us aware of this season is how much we appreciate outdoor

We’ve had one practice on our field.” Because Hiawatha coach Sean Donnelly also coaches the Hawks’ football team, he understands how the vibes from one game can translate into the next. Almost everyone on Hiawatha’s roster played football. The few players who didn’t were on the soccer roster. Both sports have a few days between games, so practice time is ground into their psyche. Donnelly has enjoyed being able to correct any mistakes made during the game with a steady string of practices. But he would still rather be on the field for a game than in the gym for a practice.
“The upside to so many more games in baseball is players don’t dwell on the previous game because more opportunities await,” Donnelly said. “Even though we lost our last game we knew it was our third game in a 24-hour span. That would never happen in football or even baseball, normally. The limited games though have allowed us to keep building off the positives of the first few weeks of season.” While Hiawatha builds off its positives, most teams are still in search of a steady lineup and rotation. Hitters haven’t got into a midseason groove and pitchers, who can build up their pitch counts on the mound inside, still have their early-season edge when it comes to changing speeds and locating. “It’s a little bit of a mystery for everyone,” said Indian Creek coach Joe Piekarz. “Without a
consistent routine of steady at bats for hitters and innings pitched for pitchers it’s tough to see how advanced everyone can do. The next two weeks are going to be big for us in terms of development of a routine. We want to start playing well headed into the playoffs.” Just when it seemed like teams would enter regionals with less than 20 games, the extended forecast offers a chance for teams to fine their groove. “We just can’t get into a rhythm,” Cavanaugh said. “But the long-term forecast looks like the weather is about to let us have a good stretch. We are looking at seven games in seven days.” That’s s a pattern that would provide many answers for area teams. • James Nokes is a contributor to the Daily Chronicle.

AT ANY PRICE Movie filmed in DeKalb County misses the grim resonance it seeks By JAKE COYLE AP Entertainment Writer
T
he flowing Iowa cornfields of “At Any Price” have nothing on the amber waves of Zac Efron’s hair. In “At Any Price,” Ramin Bahrani plants a sweeping Midwest tale of fathers and sons, fields and seed. His camera floats over cornfields listening to the rustling of the stalks, but the somewhat graceless stabs of grandeur in “At Any Price” don’t register in this uneven but respectably ambitious heartland drama. Dennis Quaid stars as Henry Whipple, an obsessively driven Iowa seed salesman, a family business he has inherited, along with constant pressure, from his overbearing father (Red West). Efron plays Henry’s rebellious, race car-driving son Dean. (In the lengthy history of James Dean odes and references, this may well be the most overt.)
‘At Any Price’
HH
Rating: R for sexual content, graphic nudity, violence, some grisly images and language. Running time: 101 minutes Starring: Dennis Quaid, Zac Efron, Kim Dickens, Heather Graham, Maika Monroe
Efron, a dashing screen presence making interesting choices for a heartthrob actor, attempts a classic American icon: a sweaty, sandy-haired, jean-wearing teenage trouble-maker. But the rebel role doesn’t suit Efron: He doesn’t have a lick of danger about him. In any case, this is Quaid’s movie. He’s not your father’s farmer. His thousands of acres aren’t pastoral, so much as the backdrop to the hulking modern machinery that drives his small empire, one fed by genetically modified seeds that he aggressively sells to other farmers. Early in the film, he and a reluctant
Dean try to purchase land at a funeral. “Expand or die,” is Henry’s manta. But Henry is struggling to grow. A rival seed salesman (an excellent, easy Clancy Brown) is dwarfing his business. He also finds himself under investigation for selling used seeds, the authorities tipped off mysteriously. His family life isn’t much better. He’s cheating on his wife Irene (Kim Dickens) with a younger woman (Heather Graham). His older, more loved son has abandoned him to travel in South America. Dean has no interest in the family business, though his girlfriend (Maika Monroe) begins accompanying him on visits to his customers. Checking up-to-the-minute corn prices on his phone and glad-handing his customers with awkward folksy cheer, Quaid’s Henry Whipple is part businessman, part politician and all huckster. He papers over the less noble sides of his life with forced smiles and strong-willed evasion, but his eyes give away his desperation. It’s
a strong if sometimes grating performance in need of less cliche-ridden dialogue. Only after a flash of violence occurs (an implausibly setup moment in the screenplay co-written by Bahrani and Hallie Elizabeth Newton) does Henry glimpses the price of his relentless capitalism. (And, no, the metaphors aren’t subtle.) There’s much to admire about “At Any Price,” with its seldom-seen portrait of men under financial, moral and corporate pressures. It can be applauded, too, for upending quaint notions of farm life in favor of a more realistic depiction of the modern agricultural industry. But Bahrani, in his largest scale film yet and his first effort with bigname stars, seems to be wrestling with the balance of a more sizable production. His earlier indie films, like the simple but memorable “Man Push Car” (about the life of a Pakistani food cart seller in New York), show a depth of empathy. When “At Any Price” draws to a crescendo, Dickon Hinchliffe’s mournful score heavy-handedly signals the disturbing truths behind its characters’ Midwest smiles and bright pastures. But the film hasn’t quite earned the grim resonance it seeks. The harvest, begun with obviously good intentions, has been spoiled.

8BRIEFS Experience the music and dance of Peru Experience the music and dance traditions of Peru during a free performance at 5 p.m. Saturday at Conexion Comunidad, 637 N. 11th St. in DeKalb. The Peruvian Folk Dance Center of Chicago will perform traditional dances in concert with Peruvian music played by Guitarra, Cajon y Zampona. This community event is provided by the Anthropology Museum at Northern Illinois University, in conjunction with a current exhibition titled “Beyond Machu Picchu: Culture and Identity in the Andes.” The Beyond Machu Picchu exhibition at the Anthropology Museum explores the material record of cultural identity in the Andes by contrasting objects from ancient, pre-European times with objects from today and the recent past. From contemporary Peruvian pottery and jewelry to ancient ceremonial knives, gold and textiles, the objects in this exhibition were selected to demonstrate that although Andean culture has been evolving for centuries, there is a shared cultural identity that has persevered over time. Objects represent a range of highland and coastal regions as well as different materials and styles, reminding us of the blend of continuity and change visible in the contemporary world. The exhibition will be on display through June 29.

Performance demonstrates the evolution of dance Northern Illinois University School of Theatre and Dance will present a dance concert this week that demonstrates how dance has changed over time. “Evolution of Ballet” is the final production the school’s 2012-2013 theater season and the final show in the Stevens Building before it is vacated for renovations over the next two years. The production features five different dance pieces: “La Esmeralda,” a classic pointe ballet piece restaged by Brian Carey Chung; two modern pieces choreographed by Morgan
Fogarty and guest choreographer Autumn Eckman; “Frida,” choreographed by Paula Frasz, which uses masks and aerial work to showcase the life of famous artist Frida Kahlo; and a French-style ballet choreographed by Judy Chitwood. “’Evolution of Dance’ is intended to show the audience how dance has evolved from classic pointe ballet to modern dance, with its intricate floor work and grounded movements,” dancer Katie Hochleutner said in a news release. Senior dance major Mary Bajek said there is a great variety of technique in the different dances, but ballet ties everything together. “Evolution of Ballet” curtain times are 7:30 p.m. today through Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. Tickets cost $16 for adults, $13 for seniors and $8 for students. They can be purchased at www.niu.edu/theatre, at the box office from noon until 5 p.m. weekdays, or by calling 815-753-1600.

Artists included in the exhibition are: Adam Sexton, Ben Walton, Bri Short, Cory Boston, Danielle Buss, Dorian Burks, Emily Skinner, Jacki Eggert, Jenna Wecker and Tess Cochrane. Throughout the semester, each student has developed a body of work based on a concept of their choosing. Alongside building a portfolio, they have been expanding their professional practice skills. This exhibition was completely organized and promoted by the students themselves. Ranging from video to traditional black and white prints, the exhibition is composed of a variety of styles and digital techniques. Refreshments will be served.

Escape artist, magician puts on a show Sunday By CURTIS CLEGG cclegg@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Mario Manzini, the “Guinness World Champion Escapologist,” will appear at the Egyptian Theatre in DeKalb with his “Tribute to Houdini” show at 3 p.m. Sunday. “I’m really excited to work in the Egyptian because it’s an old vaudeville theater,” said Manzini. “They just don’t make theaters like that anymore.”
Manzini, who has appeared on “The Late Show with David Letterman,” “The Tonight Show” and on HBO will bring his Harry Houdini-style escapes and other talents to the Egyptian in an interactive, family-friendly 90-minute show he tailored specifically for the Egyptian audience. “My main thing is the Houdini-style escapes, but they wanted me to add some comedy magic that will involve some members of the audience,” said Manzini, who noted that
“there are only a handful of real escape artists in the business.” As part of Manzini’s show, he will invite audience members to join him on stage and help with a number of escape tricks, including strapping him into a straitjacket, tying him to a chair with 100 feet of rope, locking him into 15 or more pairs of assorted police hand and leg cuffs, locking him in chains, locking him inside a U.S. Postal Service mail bag and tying him inside a sack.
“The audience can check out the ropes and handcuffs that he is using, which legitimizes the tricks and escapes and illusions that he does,” said Heather Carr, membership and marketing director for the Egyptian Theatre. The featured act will be Houdini’s water-filled giant steel milk can escape attempt. Manzini will be submerged inside the milk can with the lid locked on. He must escape within 2 minutes, or he could drown inside the can.
Tickets for the show cost $20 for adults and $15 for children, ages 3 to 12 for premium reserved seats. Each premium seat includes a free magic wand. Regular reserved seats cost $15 for adults and $10 for children; children younger than 3 get in free. Tickets are available at www. egyptiantheatre.org, by calling 815758-1225 or by visiting the Egyptian Theatre box office from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. today. The theater is located at 135 N.

Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com
Stranger’s encouraging words inspire woman Dear Abby: I was moved by the letter from “Losing Slowly in Ohio” (Jan. 14), who is 50 pounds overweight and walks every day with her friend to lose weight. She said that almost daily people made fun of them. My heart goes out to her. I was in her shoes once. With diet and exercise I lost more than 60 pounds, and I’ve kept it off. But I was never ridiculed as she was. On the contrary, one day after I had just begun a daily 1-mile jog and was struggling to keep going, I passed by a man who cheerfully called out to me to “keep at it, and one day you’ll be a 10!” Abby, I can’t tell you what that meant to me. I thought about his encouragement whenever I felt hopeless
DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips and was thinking of giving up. The memory of his kind words inspired me to go on. Thirty years later, I still think about his encouragement with amazement and gratitude. We all have a choice: We can be kind to each other and offer friends and strangers alike support for the challenges we all face, or we can make ourselves feel superior by being cruel and demeaning. In the end, our choice shapes our character and we receive what we give, so we must choose wisely. I’m sorry that “Losing”
has met with only ignorant jerks so far. I would be honored to pay it forward and tell her how incredibly brave she is, and to encourage her to stick with it. Because she has the courage to keep exercising in the face of constant humiliation, I know without a doubt that she will reach her goals. – Wendy in Colorado Dear Wendy: Thank you for your upbeat response. Many other readers were quick to “weigh in” with letters of support for “Losing Slowly”: Dear Abby: I, too, have a weight problem, which I am working to resolve. But I can tell you from experience that the worst kind of discrimination is directed against people with weight problems. I have been insulted in the workplace, in restaurants and
doctor’s offices. I have not been hired for jobs because I am perceived as fat and lazy. I am NOT lazy! I keep a clean house, work hard at my job as a secretary every day, and I am a good wife and parent. We may ignore it and pretend that it doesn’t hurt us or matter, but I can tell you it IS painful, demeaning, and it doesn’t go away. I have been in meetings or at social functions and have had to excuse myself to have a good cry. – Still Suffering in Kentucky Dear Abby: Please let “Losing Slowly” know she has another option to continue her new, healthy lifestyle in a safe environment. I have worked in malls for years, and they have all had a mall walkers’ club. The mall allows people
in to walk, including many seniors, before it opens in the morning. There she will have access to a place where everyone is on the same page. The walkers are safe from traffic, the climate, and morons who have the manners of a junkyard dog. The regulars there can tell her how many miles they can cover. It’s a great society of people who support and root for each other. – Never Giving Up in Southern California Dear Abby: I would suggest the two ladies create T-shirts that read “At Least We’re Trying!” and watch the jeers turn into cheers. – Carol in Wisconsin

Women still need a pap test, just not as often Dear Dr. K: I’m a woman in my 30s, and I’ve never had an abnormal Pap test. Do I still need one every year? Dear Reader: The answer used to be yes. This helped ensure that you had regular Pap tests to screen for cervical cancer. But new guidelines recommend less frequent Pap tests for younger women, and no Pap tests for many older women. The new guidelines, issued in 2012, revised the recommendations for cervical cancer screening. They suggest that women ages 21 to 65 have a Pap test every three years or, for women ages 30 to 65 who want to lengthen the screening interval, have a combination Pap test and
ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff human papillomavirus (HPV) test only once every five years. (Most cervical cancers are caused by specific types of HPV, a sexually transmitted virus.) In addition, most women ages 65 and older and women who have had a hysterectomy (and no longer have a cervix) do not need to have Pap tests. The exceptions are women with a history of precancerous cells, cervical cancer or abnormal Pap/ HPV tests. The new recommendations
stem from a better understanding of how cervical cancer develops. It doesn’t develop very rapidly. Rather, there are clear precancerous stages that take years to progress. What’s the downside of an annual Pap test? For young women in particular, frequent Pap tests can lead to false positive results (the test result suggests a possible cancer, but there really is no cancer). That false positive result can lead to unnecessary worry and anxiety. It also can lead to further, and invasive, diagnostic tests such as a colposcopy and biopsy of the cervix. These invasive diagnostic tests, in turn, can cause vaginal bleed-
ing, infections and pain. And, less often, the Pap test and HPV test can produce false negative results (the test result is normal, but there really is a cancer). For cervical cancer and many other cancers, our screening tests are not perfect. With a perfect test, every time it came back abnormal there would really be a cancer – and that would justify additional invasive diagnostic tests. And with a perfect test, every time it came back normal you could know for sure that you were free of that cancer. If there were a perfect test, of course you would want to have it periodically. But if the test were imperfect, and could
cause you complications, you’d want to have it when it was more likely to benefit you than to harm you. So recommendations as to how often a woman should have a Pap test are based on what studies show are the risks of a false positive or false negative result, and how likely cervical cancer is in the person having the test. For example, cervical cancer is less common in young women than in women in their late 50s. The bottom line: You still need the Pap (and the HPV) test, but not as often as you did in the past.

Reader apires to write her own teen column Dr. Wallace: When you were a high school student, were you susceptible to peer pressure and, if so, what kind of pressure was it? How were your grades? Did you enjoy your teen years? What else can you tell me about your youth? I’m the editor of our school newspaper, and I’d like to do a column on you because I’d like to write a teen column when I graduate from college. – Katie, Chicago, Ill. Katie: Peer pressure was around when I was a student at Emerson High School in Gary, Ind., but not in quite so dangerous a form as we have today. My peers were mostly athletes, and the biggest pressure I felt was to earn a var-
’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace sity letter – a big, gray-block “E” – put it on a gold sweater and wear it to school at least a dozen times a month. I confess that, because of that pressure, my grades were not as good as they could have been. Peer pressure caused me to spend more time working out for track and cross-country than studying. I didn’t plan on attending college, so B’s were good enough. But I was capable of doing better. Alcohol (beer) and cigarettes were part of the high

TODAY – In the year ahead, you could somewhat reluctantly enter into a partnership arrangement. However, even though in your eyes it won’t be ideal, it could end up producing numerous and unexpected benefits. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Strive to be cooperative when you find yourself dealing with a group of friends. If you’re self-serving, others will follow suit and no one will benefit. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You have the ability to achieve some important objectives, as long as you don’t spread yourself too thin. Trying to juggle several projects may not be the best idea. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – When talking with friends about something political, you should be extra careful. If you find that you’re endorsing a position that differs from theirs, walk away fast. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Getting along with people from all walks of life is one of your better assets. Be careful, however, because this wonderful ability might not apply when dealing with authority figures. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Methods that work well for you might not do so for others. Don’t try to force your way of doing things on an unbeliever. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – There is nothing wrong with your earning potential, but you might not be too adept at keeping what you make. Don’t allow what you worked so hard for to slip through your fingers. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Although taking charge comes naturally to you, don’t ruffle the feathers of those who want to express themselves differently. There’s room for every sort of viewpoint. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Friends will help you to a limited degree, but don’t ask them to take care of things that you should be handling yourself. You wouldn’t like the answers you got. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You won’t be disappointed if you build your hopes on a realistic basis. The opposite will be true, however, if your expectations are predicated upon receiving a free ride. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Certain conditions that have an influence on your finances and/or career could become quite complex. Handle your affairs with extreme care and delicate attention to detail. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Provided no one challenges you, you will be a most delightful companion. Those who dare to do so, however, could see a totally different side of your personality. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Walk away from any kind of joint venture the moment you see that not everyone has anted up equally, especially if you’re one of those asked to pony up the most.
school scene back then, but I never felt pressure to go in that direction. Violence and criminal behavior, drug abuse and gang activity were so rare among teens then that they were, for all practical purposes, nonexistent. Six months after receiving my high school diploma, I found myself in the Navy shipping off to Korean waters because the United States was engaged in a war to keep Korea a free nation. At war’s end, I returned and used the GI Bill to attend Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois. I thoroughly enjoyed my teen years, and the friends I made in high school remain my friends today! Dr. Wallace: I caught my
8SUDOKU
boyfriend out with another girl. He called and said he was sick and broke a date with me, so I went to a movie with my older sister. Guess who we saw? My boyfriend and another girl! He didn’t see me, so I didn’t challenge him because I was with my sister, and she doesn’t like him anyway. The next day, “slick” Willie and I had a talk. He apologized and said he smoked marijuana for the first time with his buddy and his sister, and the girl he was out with was the sister. He said he never would have taken her out if he hadn’t smoked marijuana because he didn’t know what he was doing. He promised never to
smoke marijuana again. I want to believe him. Should I? – P.J., North Aurora, Ill. P.J.: That’s one of the most pathetic excuses I’ve heard in a long time. Smoking marijuana is illegal and unhealthy and can be blamed for a lot of stupid things, but not this. Your boyfriend went out with his buddy’s sister because he wanted to, not because his mind was temporarily altered by pot. So, not only does he break his word to you and lie about it, but he also refuses to take responsibility for his actions. You may want to believe him, but you won’t, will you?

8CROSSWORD
BRIDGE Phillip Alder
It can be right to raise with three Jascha Heifetz, a great violinist who was born in Russia but moved to the United States at 16, said, “If I don’t practice one day, I know it; two days, the critics know it; three days, the public knows it.” Bridge players do not need to practice that often – but it would be beneficial if they did. Look at the North hand. He deals and opens one diamond, and South responds one spade. What should North rebid? North has three possible choices, but all have drawbacks: one no-trump (with a singleton), two clubs (aims at minors) and two spades (only three trumps). Best is two spades, which limits the hand and looks for a major-suit fit. We love majors and dislike minors. (I will say more on this tomorrow.) South should then jump to three no-trump. If North has four spades, he will correct to four spades. Here, though, he passes. After West leads the heart six, South sees a disappointing four top tricks: one spade, two hearts and one club. Four more are available in diamonds, and another winner can come from clubs. However, declarer must be careful to take the club finesse at trick two. Although the finesse loses, West cannot safely lead another heart, and the contract comes home. Note that if a diamond is led at trick two, the contract dies. East wins with his ace and leads a heart through the ace-jack. When West gets in with his club king (or East with his spade king), the defenders cash enough hearts to defeat the contract. Yes, playing ace and another club works here, but not if East has the king.
