Evergreen disputes flood report Owner says county’s assessment of damages is not accurate

By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – The owner of Evergreen Village Mobile Home Park is at odds with DeKalb County officials over the county’s assessment of the flood damage to properties in the trailer park.

On Wednesday, the county notified Evergreen residents that 39 trailers had been damaged 50 percent or more during the flooding that occurred earlier this month. Those trailers cannot be repaired unless the residents seek a permit from the county.

Evergreen Village owner Frank Santoro angrily disputed the county’s findings.

“None of these houses got damaged because no water got in them,” Santoro said. He demonstrated how the water level on a number of properties had not reached the floor level of any trailer. “It’s mind boggling.”

“These are people who are supposed to know what they’re taking about,” he said.

There did seem to be some confusion over what the county was doing among residents at the park. A plan to relocate the residents of the park with the help of a $4.2 million federal

grant is under way. County officials say that it is this effort that makes it necessary for them to closely follow regulations.

Although Santoro said he doesn’t think county officials were fair, they were following standard protocol, said Paul Miller, the county’s planning, zoning and building director.

When assessing damage, officials compare the estimated cost of the damage with the fair market value of the property.

Quinn says concealed carry a city matter

Frank Santoro, owner of Evergreen Village Mobile Home Park in Sycamore, throws his hands up in frustration Friday while looking over homes that were damaged by flood waters from recent rains.

CONSTRUCTION SEASON SET TO START IN DeKALB COUNTY

The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – With about 40 days before a federal court-ordered deadline to enact a law allowing public possession of firearms, Gov. Pat Quinn is holding fast to the notion that decisions about who may carry guns – and where – should be made at city hall, not by a statewide standard.

But the reality in the Statehouse is that majority Democrats are having difficulty convincing lawmakers to leave any gun decisions to local control, even if it’s just for Chicago and Cook County, let alone giving police chiefs and county sheriffs statewide veto power.

A federal appeals court in December ruled that the state’s last-in-the-nation ban on the carrying of Gov. Pat concealed weapons is Quinn unconstitutional and gave lawmakers until June 9 to legalize the practice.

Gun owners are adamant the law be uniform across Illinois. They want the General Assembly to produce a “shall issue” bill, requiring permits be issued to most anyone who obtains the necessary training and passes background checks.

Gun-control forces favor “may issue” measures that give law enforcement officials veto power.

Quinn, a Chicago Democrat, reiterated his position last week that cities with so-called “home rule” decision-making authority should be able to decide public gun possession within their limits.

It may be, however, that he’s mostly concerned about Chicago, adding later the “need to battle for that principle” should apply to “at least major parts of our state that have been really challenged by gun violence.”

Projects paving way OFFICIALS URGE PATIENCE AS SUMMER WORK GETS UNDER WAY Rob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com

BELOW: Vehicles are seen Thursday crossing the “T” intersection of Lincoln Highway and Carroll Avenue near the new DeKalb police station. The city plans to change the intersection into a fourway stop.

By JEFF ENGELHARDT jengelhardt@shawmedia.com DeKALB – As the warm weather rolls in, so too will the construction crews get to work on area roads. Millions of dollars are set to be spent on widening and repaving roads and replacing bridges in DeKalb County this summer. Most of the projects will not cause closures or delays, but residents should expect a few inconveniences on the roads.

widening, Taylor Street widening and intersection improvements at Carol Avenue and Route 38.

DeKalb residents can expect some minor delays on Bethany Road between First Street and Meadow Trail West starting in about a month. DeKalb City Engineer Joel Maurer said that stretch of road would be widened, which will require lane shifts for commuters.

The project is the city’s most expensive this summer at about $900,000, but 75 percent of the total

8 TODAY’S TALKER

Deeper spirituality for bomb suspects’ mother The ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON – In photos of her as a younger woman, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva wears a low-cut blouse and has her hair teased like a 1980s rock star. After she arrived in the U.S. from Russia in 2002, she went to beauty school and did facials at a suburban day spa.

But in recent years, people noticed a change. She began wearing a hijab and cited conspiracy theories about 9/11 being a plot against Muslims.

Now known as the angry and grieving mother of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects, Tsarnaeva is drawing increased attention after federal officials say Russian authorities intercepted her phone calls, including one in which she vaguely discussed jihad with her elder son. In another, she was recorded talking to someone in southern Russia who is under FBI investigation in an unrelated case, U.S. officials said.

Tsarnaeva insists there is no mystery. She’s no terrorist, just someone who found a deeper spirituality. She insists her sons – Tamerlan, who was killed in a gunfight with police, and Dzhokhar, who was wounded and captured – are innocent.

“It’s all lies and hypocrisy,” she told The Associated Press in Dagestan. “I’m sick and tired of all this nonsense that they make up about me and my children.

People know me as a regular person, and I’ve never been mixed up in any criminal intentions, especially any linked to terrorism.”

Amid the scrutiny, Tsarnaeva and her ex-husband, Anzor Tsarnaev, say they have put off the idea of any trip to the U.S. to reclaim their elder son’s body or try to visit Dzhokhar in jail. Tsarnaev told the AP on Sunday he was too ill to travel to the U.S. Tsarnaeva faces a 2012 shoplifting charge in a Boston suburb, although it was unclear whether that was a deterrent.

At a news conference in Dagestan with Anzor last week, Tsarnaeva appeared overwhelmed with grief one moment, defiant the next.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – America’s blacks voted at a higher rate than other minority groups in 2012 and by most measures surpassed the white turnout for the first time, reflecting a deeply polarized presidential election in which blacks strongly supported Barack Obama while many whites stayed home.

Had people voted last November at the same rates they did in 2004, when black turnout was below its current historic levels, Republican Mitt Romney would have won narrowly, accord-

The mother of the two Boston bombing suspects, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva (left), speaks to reporters April 25 in Makhachkala, Dagestan. Two government officials told The Associated Press that U.S. intelligence agencies added the Boston bombing suspects’ mother to a federal terrorism database about 18 months before the attack. At right is her sister-in-law, Maryam.

“They already are talking about that we are terrorists, I am terrorist,” she said. “They already want me, him and all of us to look [like] terrorists.”

Tsarnaeva arrived in the U.S. in 2002, settling in a working-class section of Cambridge, Mass. With four children, Anzor and Zubeidat qualified for food stamps and were on and off public assistance benefits for years. The large family squeezed itself into a third-floor apartment.

Zubeidat took classes at the Catherine Hinds Institute of Esthetics, before becoming a state-licensed aesthetician.

Anzor, who had studied law, fixed cars.

By some accounts, the family was tolerant. Bethany Smith, a New Yorker who befriended Zubeidat’s two daughters, said in an interview with Newsday that when she stayed with the family for a month in 2008 while she looked at colleges, she was welcomed even though she was Christian and had tattoos.

“I had nothing but love over there.

They accepted me for who I was,” Smith told the newspaper. “Their mother, Zubeidat, she considered me to be a part of the family. She called me her third daughter.”

Zubeidat said she and Tamerlan began to turn more deeply into their Muslim faith about five years ago after being influenced by a family friend, named “Misha.” The man, whose full name she didn’t reveal, impressed her with a religious devotion that was far greater than her own, even though he was an ethnic Armenian who converted to Islam.

“I wasn’t praying until he prayed in our house, so I just got really ashamed that I am not praying, being a Muslim, being born Muslim. I am not praying.

Misha, who converted, was praying,” she said.

By then, she had left her job at the day spa and was giving facials in her apartment. One client, Alyssa Kilzer, noticed the change when Tsarnaeva put on a head scarf before leaving the apartment.

Black voter turnout reaches milestone in ’12 In a first, surpasses white voter turnout

ing to an analysis conducted for The Associated Press.

Census data and exit polling show that whites and blacks will remain the two largest racial groups of eligible voters for the next decade. Last year’s heavy black turnout came despite concerns about the effect of new voter-identification laws on minority voting, outweighed by the desire to reelect the first black president.

William H. Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution, analyzed the 2012 elections for the AP using census data on eligible voters and turnout, along with November’s exit polling.

He estimated total votes for Obama and Romney under a scenario where 2012 turnout rates for all racial groups matched those in 2004. Overall, 2012 voter turnout was roughly 58 percent,

down from 62 percent in 2008 and 60 percent in 2004.

The analysis also used population projections to estimate the shares of eligible voters by race group through 2030. The numbers are supplemented with material from the Pew Research Center and George Mason University associate professor Michael McDonald, a leader in the field of voter turnout who separately reviewed aggregate turnout levels across states, as well as AP interviews with the Census Bureau and other experts. The bureau is scheduled to release data on voter turnout in May. Overall, the findings represent a tipping point for blacks, who for much of America’s history were disenfranchised and then effectively barred from voting until passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965.

Omar Cota was taken into custody early Friday off a dance floor at Route 66 Casino’s Club Envy in New Mexico. Officials said federal agents and police in Laguna arrested the 28-year-old after receiving a tip that he liked to go to the casino.

The U.S. Marshals Service said Cota had an outstanding federal arrest warrant for drug trafficking and had eluded federal agents since February 2012.

Authorities said agents found a large amount of cash and suspected drugs with Cota, who is believed to be a member of the Brew Town gang. It was unclear if Cota had an attorney.

NIU students organize 5K fundraiser Race aids Graduate Sport Society, Adventure Works in DeKalb

By STEPHANIE HICKMAN shickman@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Whitney Showalter didn’t mind waking up early Sunday morning to run her first 5K race.

Despite her lack of running experience, the Colorado native and Sycamore resident happily came out to Northern Illinois University’s Huskie Stadium at 7:30 a.m. to support her boyfriend’s graduate program and run for a local cause.

Showalter finished the race in about 28 minutes. She was pleased with the time, given she had only been training about a month.

“I’m not really a racer,” she said. “I was pretty proud of it.”

About 100 NIU students and community members ran the Huskie Stadium 5K race hosted by the university’s Graduate Sport Society, a club comprised of first- and second-year graduate students in the sports

Stephanie Hickman – shickman@shawmedia.com

Laura Caskey crosses the finish line of the Huskie Stadium 5K Race on Sunday at Northern Illinois University. The race benefited NIU’s sports management graduate program, Adventure Works in DeKalb and Share Your Soles in Chicago. management program.

Runners began inside Huskie Stadium and ran along the streets of campus and looped

back around to finish on the football field’s 30-yard line.

The fourth annual 5K was coordinated by the students

as part of a final semester capstone project, said Steve Howell, NIU professor of sport management and the students’ advisor. The collaborative event was a culmination of everything the students had learned throughout the semester, he said.

“We just take an idea and put it into practice,” he said.

Kayla Rusterholtz, one of the race’s student directors said the group hoped to raise about $500, which would benefit the Graduate Sport Society and Adventure Works, a nonprofit organization that works with DeKalb County’s Family Service Agency to provide adventure therapy to at-risk youth.

Runners also received a $5 registration discount if they donated a pair of gently used shoes, benefiting the Share Your Soles organization for underprivileged children in Chicago.

Rusterholtz said the students chose to donate to Adventure Works because its outdoor and sports-oriented youth counseling aligns well with the mission of the sports management program.

Adventure Works director Lynette Spencer, who volunteered to pass out water and fruit at the race, said she was thrilled when Rusterholtz contacted her with the idea. “[It was] totally out of the blue,” she said. “It was a very, very nice phone call to receive.”

Spencer described the donation to her three-year-old organization as “local dollars working for local kids.”

Another group of graduate students in the capstone class will host a golf outing Saturday at River Heights Golf Course in DeKalb. Groups of four can sign up for $300 by contacting Steve Howell at showell2@niu.edu.

Sycamore is entering its sixth year of a $2.3M summer street maintenance program • CONSTRUCTION Continued from page A1 cost will be covered through federal funding.

Widening of Taylor Street near Lyons Park will begin in mid-June, Maurer said, and will also require lane shifting.

That project will cost about $350,000 and come from the motor fuel tax fund.

The construction of a new police station will require the existing “T” intersection at Carol Avenue and Route 38 to be converted to a four-way stop. Maurer said there would be considerable sidewalk and entrance work, along with traffic signal upgrades from mid-May through August.

At times, Maurer said it could cause only one lane to

be open in each direction in the area.

The biggest inconvenience, Maurer said, could be the increased amount of potholes.

He said city street crews would not be able to work on potholes until after they receive the city condition survey in about two months.

“It’s been pretty severe this year,” he said of the potholes. “Especially with the winter swings in temperature causing thawing and frosting and all the moisture we’ve gotten.”

SYCAMORE Major project: Widening Bethany Road to three lanes between Peace and Somonauk roads.

Sycamore will enter its sixth year of a summer street

maintenance program that will include a total of $2.3 million in spending, mostly because of a major Bethany Road project.

Ebe Smith, assistant public works director for Sycamore, said that stretch of road would likely be completely closed to traffic for the duration of the project. No start date has been determined because the city still needs to solicit bids from contractors for the project, he said.

Funding will come from the city’s motor fuel tax and street maintenance fund, which is a combination of Sycamore gas and sales tax revenues, Smith said. The rest of the $2.3 million will be directed to projects on 15 Sycamore streets. Smith said no significant traffic issues

would develop during those projects.

Smith said the street maintenance fund is expected to last through 2017, with about $1.2 million allocated to projects each summer.

DeKALB COUNTY Major projects: Base Line Road Bridge replacement, Five Points Road Bridge replacement.

Residents who cross the Kishwaukee River on Base Line Road will need to find their own detour as all traffic will be blocked during a bridge deck replacement project, County Engineer Nathan Schwartz said.

Schwartz said preconstruction work would begin in a few weeks on the bridge, located about 2 miles west of

Route 23. He said the project would last most of the summer. Federal and state funding will cover $526,359, while the county will pay $10,965.

The Five Points Road Bridge replacement will not begin until August and should last until late November, Schwartz said. The county share for that $2.2 million project is estimated at $551,200.

Schwartz said in addition to the two major projects, 11 townships will complete paving projects that will temporarily cause one-lane traffic.

Gov. Pat Quinn also announced Thursday a 3-mile resurfacing project on County Line Road from Perry to Lee roads. The $428,000 project is part of the Illinois Jobs Now! program.

Lucky

Hi, my name is Lucky and I am an amazing, smart, and big young American Blue Heeler/Yellow Lab mix guy. I’m a goofy, VERY playful boy. I love to chase toys out in TAILS fenced yard and I usually bring them back. I REALLY love stuffed animals and like to carry them with me just about everywhere! Give me an opportunity and I’m always up for a good belly rub or ear scratch. In my old home, no one took the time to train me so the staff has been teaching me basic commands and I’m learning very fast! I used to live with a family and cats but I’m a bit much for small kids. A home with high school age kids or just adults to play with would be best for me. I’m a wonderful, loving and playful guy who is waiting for my FURever home. Take me home and it will definitely be your “Lucky” day (and mine)!

Pre-kindergarten spending per student lowest in 10 years

By PHILIP ELLIOTT The Associated Press WASHINGTON – State funding for pre-kindergarten programs had its largest drop ever last year and states are spending less per child than they did a decade ago, according to a report released Monday.

The report also found that more than a half million of those preschool students are in programs that don’t even meet standards suggested by industry experts that would qualify for federal dollars.

Those findings – combined with Congress’ reluctance to spend new dollars – complicate President Barack Obama’s effort to expand pre-K programs across the country. While Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius continue to promote the president’s proposal, researchers say existing programs are inadequate, and until their shortcomings are fixed there is little desire by lawmakers to get behind Obama’s call for more preschool.

“The state of preschool was a state of emergency,” said Steven Barnett, director of the National Institute for Early Education Research at Rutgers University, which

During his State of the Union speech, Obama proposed a federal-state partnership that would dramatically expand options for families with young children. Obama’s plan would fund public preschool for any 4-year-old whose family income was below twice the federal poverty rate.

If it were in place this year, the plan would allow a family of four with two children to enroll students in a pre-K program if the family earned less than $46,566.

Students from families who earn more could par-

ticipate in the program, but their parents would have to pay tuition based on their income. Eventually, 3-year-old students would be part of the program, too.

As part of his budget request, Obama proposed spending $75 billion over 10 years to help states get these new programs up and running. During the first years, Washington would pick up the majority of the cost before shifting costs to states.

“It’s the most significant opportunity to expand access to pre-K that this nation has ever seen,” Barnett said of the president’s proposal.

the capital of Dhaka where he faced charges of negligence.

Rana’s capture was announced by loudspeaker at the disaster site, drawing cheers and applause from those awaiting the outcome of a continuing search-and-rescue operation for survivors of Wednesday’s collapse.

Many of those killed were workers at clothing factories in the building, known as the Rana Plaza, and the collapse was the deadliest disaster to hit the garment industry in Bangladesh that is worth $20 billion annually and is a mainstay of the economy.

close Scott Air Force Base, but leaders in southwestern Illinois fear growing budget pressures in Washington could affect the facility’s future.

Illinois’ congressional delegation has vowed to work to keep the base open, even though the next round of closures won’t begin taking place until at least 2015, according to the Belleville News-Democrat.

U.S. Department of Defense officials have said the military has more infrastructure than needed, and Illinois lawmakers fear the base will stay on the chopping block as the costs of Medicare and other government-funded social programs continue to soar, forcing spending reductions in other areas of the federal budget.

8BRIEFS Officials capture owner of collapsed building SAVAR, Bangladesh – The fugitive owner of an illegally constructed building that collapsed and killed at least 377 people was captured Sunday by a commando force as he tried to flee into India.

Residents can ask county for 2nd assessment or hire their own inspector and county will accept that report timated to be 74 percent damaged by the floods, but after he raised issues with the report, a second assessor came to survey his property. The second assessment dropped that number to around 25 percent.

“We are very confident,” Howden said about his trailer.

“We’ve had water this high before, and it doesn’t even affect electricity.”

Miller said the county’s damage assessors use a checklist provided by the Federal Emergency Management

• DAMAGE Continued from page A1 value, the occupants need a permit to make repairs. The permits cost $35.

“It has nothing to do with water getting into the trailer,” Miller said.

However, damage estimates can vary from one assessor to another, as Frank Howden knows. Howden, who lives in a trailer at lot C-11 in the park, said his trailer initially was es-

Agency because they participate in a national flood insurance program. Miller said assessors do a visual inspection of the property. Then they use a formula to calculate the apparent cost of the damage, along with the trailer’s condition and age.

“We do a visual inspection,” Miller said. “If we note the skirting has been pulled back, we may identify 75 percent of it needs to be replaced.”

Miller said assessors are not allowed inside trailers, nor

are they allowed to ask to enter them.

Besides requesting a second county assessment, residents also can hire their own qualified inspector or appraiser, and the county will accept the report of that individual, Miller said. He said that the county does not have the resources to penalize village residents for repairing their trailers without county permits, but he is trying to balance obligations with the residents’ needs.

“We have a lot of sympathy

for the residents out there,” Miller said.

Miller understands why Santoro is upset, but he said the county underwent similar processes at Evergreen Village in previous floods.

“In none of these cases did it place Mr. Santoro’s business in jeopardy,” Miller said.

The biggest concern for the county is it is preparing to buy the mobile home park with the help of a $4.2 million grant from the FEMA. The county has worked for years

and spent thousands of dollars to prepare for the buyout.

“We need to show that we are following our regulations because we are preparing a project that will cost [millions] of federal money,” Miller said.

Miller said they are hoping for authorization in May to start the project.

“The county has done everything it can and everything it would to find alternative housing for these people,” Miller said. “We’re doing everything we can to help.”

celebration for all.

The event is held on Bill Johnson Boulevard, behind Taxco Restaurant Too, 223 W. State St. in Sycamore.

This celebration will feature live music, a beer garden and a margarita bar.

From 1 to 8 p.m., families can enjoy live music and dancers, games for children, more than 20 pinatas, eating contests, climbing walls, dancing contests and more. Prizes will be awarded through-

out the day, and, of course, there will be authentic Mexican food and beverages.

The event is open to the public.

Tickets for food and games can be purchased at the event. All proceeds support local nonprofit organizations. Over the past 15 years, the event has raised more than $100,000 for local nonprofits.

History of handkerchiefs explored in Sycamore A handkerchief, while a simple item, has a very long and interesting history. Handkerchiefs have been used for more than 400 years – from kings, queens and lords, to the blushing bride on her wedding day. Elaine Goodwin will share her knowledge about handkerchiefs and display her personal favorites during the Sycamore History Museum’s Thursday Brown Bag lunch program.

The May Brown Bag lunch will be held at the Sycamore History Museum, 1730 N. Main St. (not at the DeKalb County Community Foundation). The talk is free and open to the public, donations are welcome. Coffee and cookies are provided.

A world free of genocide

8ANOTHER VIEW

Why to end knife ban on airplanes The Transportation Security Administration announced this week that it was delaying a plan to allow passengers to carry pocketknives, hockey sticks and golf clubs aboard airplanes.

With terrorism prominently in the news – and opposition surging from flight attendants and others in the airline industry – this decision was perhaps inevitable.

It’s also wrongheaded.

To a public that has gone along with relinquishing hand lotions, bottled water and other seemingly innocuous items, it may seem absurd that the TSA was even considering allowing knives on board planes.

To the contrary, it was an indication that, after years of trial and error, the agency was finally getting smart about security.

The prohibition against small knives is, first of all, ineffective. As the former administrator of the TSA, Kip Hawley, has pointed out, a terrorist could assemble a “12-inch razor- sharp sword” using a soda can, a key, a ruler and some tape. The current administrator, John Pistole, has said that a passenger could simply smash a wine bottle that he bought on board.

Small scissors and screwdrivers have been allowed through U.S. security since 2005 without incident. Other countries

have allowed pocketknives since 2010.

Yet highly trained TSA screeners still have to devote time and attention to the 2,000 small knives they find every day.

Each of these incidents requires two or three minutes to resolve. That’s no small hindrance. Every additional banned item that TSA agents must root through your luggage for distracts them from looking for what really matters – nonmetallic explosives, which are a serious and evolving threat that could bring down a plane.

The proposed rule change wasn’t flawless. Knives that extended beyond 2.36 inches still could have been confiscated. Why a 2.37-inch blade would pose an enhanced danger remains obscure to us, and making this distinction would seem to undercut any timesaving advantage.

As Hawley has argued, battle axes and machetes should also be approved under a logical system. “Bring anything you want that is pointy and sharp,” he told CNN, “because while you may be able to commit an act of violence, you will not be able to take over the plane.”

That may sound counterintuitive, but it’s an important point to understand: The TSA’s job isn’t to make sure that nothing bad ever happens on an airplane. Its job is to make sure that no one blows up a plane or intentionally crashes one into a

building again.

You will probably hear people – many of them in Congress – point out that the Sept. 11 hijackers used box cutters to gain control of the planes they brought down.

This may be true. But three things have since changed.

Cockpit doors now are locked and reinforced. The Federal Air Marshal Service has been substantially expanded. And the flying public now knows to disarm potential hijackers – as it did with the terrorists aboard United Flight 93 on Sept. 11, with the “shoe bomber” Richard Reid in 2001, and with the “underwear bomber” Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab in 2009.

The next terrorist who attempts to strike an American airliner won’t be fooling around with knives and box cutters, because they won’t work. He’ll use weapons that you probably haven’t thought of.

In response, the TSA shouldn’t endlessly try to update a list of banned items – it should focus on identifying dangerous people instead. That means prioritizing threats, sharpening intelligence, improving behavioral-profiling techniques and managing risks.

Ending the knife ban would have been – and still can be – a step in the right direction.

Abuse of disability claims a real problem We who work through colds, bad backs and low moods – however liberal we might be – have permission to resent those who could hold a job but don’t, preferring to collect disability checks unto the decades.

You see them at the coffee shop, refilling their cups in leisure, or even pumping iron at the gym.

And there are more of them all the time.

More than 5 percent of eligible American adults are receiving disability payments from Social Security. Twenty years ago, it was 3 percent. One reason is easier requirements giving more weight to selfmade diagnoses of back pain or mental anguish.

Social Security’s disability insurance benefit has morphed into a $124 billion welfare program. Many beneficiaries are older blue-collar workers out of a job, preferring to collect these inflation-adjusted monthly checks to doing some low-wage gig at a hamburger place.

This discussion is not about the severely disabled – workers who’ve suffered grievous strokes or other medical calamities. It is about the reasonably able-bodied playing the scam and the doctors helping them. It’s about a government that doesn’t tighten the rules.

The problem is international. In a celebrated case five years ago, a 29-yearold Canadian on leave from her job at IBM for “major depression” posted pictures on Facebook of her frolicking in a bikini on a

When the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum opened 20 years ago, there were questions about its mission and whether it belonged so near the Mall.

The events took place in Europe; the victims were concentrated in one ethnic group; was this really an American story?

Thirty-five million visitors later, those questions have been answered. The museum has been extraordinarily successful in preserving the memory and promoting the understanding of a chapter of history that must never be forgotten.

For the record But it also has become a “national and internan U.S. Holocaust Memotional institution,” its dirial Museum opened 20 rector, Sara J. Bloomfield, years ago. told us recently, dedicated n Thirty-five million to what Elie Wiesel always visitors to the museum envisioned as its co-pursince then. pose: “confronting hate, n Nine out of 10 visitors preventing genocide and are non-Jews; one-third are promoting human digniin school groups; and one ty.” in seven is a repeat visitor.

But the museum is much more than that exhibit.

It has developed training programs for U.S. police and military officers and for judges.

It takes in an average of one historical collection a day – collections that may include photos, uniforms, “a doll I carried with me.”

Not long ago the museum obtained a hastily scribbled note from a mother who chose to go to the gas chambers so her disabled child wouldn’t die alone.

She sent her love to her husband – and warned him not to spoil their surviving son, now that he would be an only child.

As the generation of Holocaust survivors dies out, the preservation of these objects will take on new importance, as will the many archives from around the world that the museum is working to preserve.

So will its work identifying the causes of genocide and seeking to prevent such killings.

“Our biggest message is not only that it happened but that it didn’t have to happen, it was preventable, there was a failure of leadership,” Ms. Bloomfield said.

“We have it all...”

You have probably heard the saying, seeing is believing. We had heard it too. But each and every time we visited other retirement communities near our home in Wheaton we found out they just Dick & Lou Cole weren’t able to live up to our expectations. At some point during our search, good friends told us Oak Crest has it all – great location, beautiful homes, unbeatable amenities and future security. I’ll be honest with you, we were still a little skeptical. Then we visited Oak Crest and after meeting the friendly staff and talking with people who make Oak Crest their home we were convinced.

Now, we call Oak Crest home and tell everyone we know that it’s true. Oak Crest has it all and so do we.

Dick & Lou Cole, Residents since December 2009

Michael Jordan marries over the weekend Michael Jordan got married over the weekend in front of a few hundred of his family and closest friends.

The Charlotte Bobcats owner exchanged vows with 35-yearold former model Yvette Prieto on Saturday in Palm Beach, Fla., Jordan’s manager Estee Portnoy told The Associated Press on Sunday The wedding took place at the Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea with about 300 guests in attendance, including Tiger Woods, Patrick Ewing, Spike Lee and Ahmad Rashad.

The ceremony was followed by a reception at the Bear’s Club in Jupiter, Fla., a luxurious private golf club designed by Jack Nicklaus. Jordan, 50, owns a home near the course.

There were fireworks at night as part of the celebration.

In lieu of wedding gifts, donations were made to the James R. Jordan Foundation. The wedding flowers were donated to the Jupiter Medical Center.

The six-time NBA champion and Prieto met five years ago and were engaged in December.

Prieto wore a French silk voile corseted sheer sheath gown

by J’Aton Couture, in an ecru palette with accents of flesh tones, with handmade silk lace created especially for her, and enhanced with Swarovski crystals. The gown featured French seamed crinoline borders, which cascaded into a dramatic cathedral train finished in the lace, with accents of a peacock-feathered design.

The couple and their guests were entertained by DJ MC Lyte, singers K’Jon, Robin Thicke and Grammy-Award winner Usher and The Source, an 18-piece band.

Everyone enjoyed an all-white, seven-layer white rum wedding cake that was covered in white fondant and sugar crystals, and adorned with crystal brooches and the couples’ monogram on the top layer.

READY TO PROVE HIMSELF

I didn’t have a scholarship, I had to earn it. It’s nothing that’s new to me.”

So far, Melvin is one of four former Huskies to hook on with a team as a free agent. Wide receiver Martel Moore will join the Atlanta Falcons, who already have former NIU linebacker Pat Schiller on their roster. Schiller spent last season on the practice squad.

CHICAGO – White Sox manager Robin Ventura would like to send out the same lineup every game and watch his team find a rhythm that leads to a string of victories.

Injuries haven’t afforded him that opportunity, leaving Ventura and the Sox without a clear direction of where this team is headed. It would be easy to call missed opportunities like Sunday’s 8-3 loss to the Rays a by-product of bench players logging too much playing time.

Even so, Ventura is unsure how to judge the Sox. “You have a few of the starters out so it becomes a different look, but again, I can’t look at it like that,” Ventura said. “We’re looking at what Next you have here and what’s available, vs. Texas, and you go from 7 p.m. there. You try to Tuesday, win games right CSN, now, not waiting AM-670 and looking in the future.”

The Sox have played six of their 24 games with the opening day lineup because of various injuries. Two-fifths of their starting rotation, making a combined $25.25 million this season, is on the disabled list, along with two key contributors, outfielder Dayan Viciedo and second baseman Gordon Beckham, who were expected to play bigger roles this year.

The absence of John Danks (left shoulder) and Gavin Floyd (flexor muscle strain) have forced Dylan Axelrod and Hector Santiago into the rotation.

Axelrod pitched admirably in Sunday’s loss with the Sox’s offense facing Rays ace David Price. Axelrod kept the Sox in the game, holding the Rays to three runs in six innings.

But it’s unreasonable to expect Axelrod and Santiago, career spot starters, can help lead the Sox to the playoffs. While Danks will make his first rehab start Thursday at Double-A Birmingham, his future is uncertain coming off major shoulder surgery. Floyd’s arm issue is concerning because he went on the DL twice last season, once for the exact injury that put him on the DL Sunday.

“You know, we’ve got a good group here and in Triple-A,” Axelrod said. “We don’t get a lot of credit in our Minor League system. We might not have the flashiest prospect type guys, but we have guys who can get it done.”

Six Sox players are currently on the DL, while infielder Jeff Keppinger was sidelined over the weekend with back spasms. Dewayne Wise missed two games this week with a stiff neck. At one point, Ventura was down to two men on his bench.

MARLINS 6, CUBS 4

Cubs fall short of sweep with loss in Miami

By STEVEN WINE The Associated Press MIAMI – The Cubs squandered too many scoring opportunities Sunday, and missed their chance at a four-game sweep.

The Cubs went 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position and lost 6-4 to the Miami Marlins, who salvaged the final game of the series.

“It’s tough to sweep four games,” Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. “It just doesn’t happen very often.”

The Cubs were going for

Next at San Diego, 7 p.m. today, CSN+, AM-720 their first-ever four-game sweep against the Marlins, and their first on the road since August 2011. Instead they lost another close game and finished their three-city trip 4-6.

But as shortstop Starlin Castro noted, winning three out of four from Miami represented improvement for the Cubs, who

remain last in the NL Central.

“It’s awesome,” Castro said.

“The team got off a little slow, but it’s good for us to take this series and feel a little better about things right now.”

Beginning today against San Diego, the Cubs play 16 of their next 19 games at home.

Giancarlo Stanton homered twice and drove in four runs for the Marlins. Ricky Nolasco (22) gave up three runs in seven innings and retired the final 15 batters he faced.

Parker, Spurs complete 1st-round sweep of Lakers LOS ANGELES – Tony Parker scored 23 points, and the San Antonio Spurs completed their first-round sweep of the injury-plagued Los Angeles Lakers with a 103-82 victory in Game 4 on Sunday night.

Tim Duncan had 11 points and six rebounds for the second-seeded Spurs, who will face the winner of Denver’s series with Golden State in the second round.

Nets not looking back Bulls have chance to eliminate Nets

By BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press NEW YORK – No use looking back now for the Brooklyn Nets.

Game 4 hurt, physically and mentally, but there’s nothing they can do about it. The missed free throws, the blown boxouts, cost them what should have been a victory, and they realize things would be a whole lot different if they were coming home tied at two games apiece instead of trailing the Bulls 3-1.

That’s history now. If they don’t win Game 5 today, they’ll have all the time in the world to think about what might have been.

“I think they are very acutely aware of the mistakes that we made and I don’t think we need that for tomorrow. I think [today] is more positive and I think it’s really important for us to be looking ahead, not backwards, [today],” coach P.J. Carlesimo said Sunday, revealing that the Nets won’t look at specifics of their collapse when they gather this morning.

“They’ll be enough motivation. They’re not going to forget what happened on Saturday, but I don’t think we need it. We need to dwell on [today], not Saturday.”

What the Nets are trying to forget is the 14-point lead they

The Bulls’ Kirk Hinrich (left) and Taj Gibson pressure the Brooklyn Nets’ Deron Williams during the second half in Game 4 of their first-round playoff series Saturday at the United Center. The Bulls won, 142-134, in three overtimes. couldn’t hold late in regulation Saturday. Nate Robinson led the Bulls back, and they pulled out a 142-134 triple-overtime victory. As meaningful as it was for the Bulls, they understand they also need to let it go quickly.

“Well, it’s one game,” Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. “I like the fact that we never quit on the game. That’s been the nature of the team all season.

They’ll keep battling. Things weren’t going our way, but there was no give-in. They just kept going.”

That spirit has the Bulls on the verge of the second round in a season in which Derrick Rose

hasn’t played at all, Joakim Noah has battled chronic pain in his right foot and some other injury often seems around the corner, even it’s not serious.

This time it’s a bruised calf for point guard Kirk Hinrich.

So the Bulls know never to expect anything to come easily, certainly not a close-out game on their opponent’s home floor.

The Nets are 5-0 in Game 5s at home.

“They’re going to be in their building, so they’re going to have juice and energy from the crowd,” forward Carlos Boozer said. “For us, we just have to stay focused, poised, tighten up our defense.”

Indeed, the Bulls aren’t used to having to rely on something like the 29 points Robinson scored after the third quarter.

They prefer to lean on their defense but realize there are some nights against teams like the Nets where they will have to win by making shots.

“The thing is, you’ve got to win different ways,” Thibodeau said. “They make shots.

Some of the plays were defended well. We knew that going in.

You can’t let your guard down against them. They’re a great team. They’ve shown that all year. We know we’re going to have to play our best game [today].”

Big Ten going to East-West alignment for divisions The Associated Press PARK RIDGE, – No more “Legends.” And no more “Leaders.”

The Big Ten is giving them the boot and following a more conventional route for its division names.

The conference is going with “East” and “West” instead and switching to a ninegame scheduling format after presidents and chancellors approved the moves on Sunday.

The new division alignments will begin in 2014 when Rutgers and Maryland join the conference, meaning “Legends” and “Leaders” will be a thing of the past. That will probably come as good news for fans who have criticized those names ever since the league unveiled them in 2010.

To many, they were confusing and didn’t help identify where

teams play, but that won’t be an issue any more.

Besides the new division alignment, teams will go from playing eight conference games to nine in 2016.

“Big Ten directors of athletics concluded four months of study and deliberation with unanimous approval of a future football structure that preserved rivalries and created divisions based on their primary principle of East/West geography,” commissioner Jim Delany said in a statement. “The directors of athletics also relied on the results of a fan survey commissioned by BTN in December to arrive at their recommendation, which is consistent with the public sentiment expressed in the poll.”

Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State and Rutgers will be in the East division.

The West will consist of Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern, Purdue and Wisconsin.

Schools will play six division games plus two against teams from the other division in 2014 and 2015. In 2016, they’ll play three cross-division games.

Indiana and Purdue will meet on an annual basis.

But Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon said each school had to make compromises.

“Fourteen athletic directors came to the table with different objectives and our goal was to compromise to the point that we could move together with one plan,” he said. “Each of us had things that were extremely important and things on our wish list. I wanted us to play Michigan State and Ohio State every year and for the Michigan-Ohio State game to

be the last one ever year. I’m pleased we’re going to be able to do those three things.

“But it’s not a perfect setup because no school got everything they wanted.”

East division teams will host five conference games during even-numbered years starting in 2016, with West teams hosting five in odd-numbered seasons. Under that format, teams will be guaranteed to play each other at least once every four years, and in a statement, Nebraska chancellor Harvey Perlman called that “an important feature.”

He also praised the changes, saying they are “the best option” and “will serve us well.”

Brandon said a 10-game format was “carefully considered to even out the homeand-away problem,” but that would have hindered nonconference scheduling.

Difficult to gauge Sox’s talent All 24 Cubs games have been • WHITE SOX Continued from page B1 “I don’t sense anybody looking around saying we can’t win with what we have,” Sox captain Paul Konerko said. “I think the only time you think about those guys is when you see them. I think every team is going to have that little span during the season where it seems like every day somebody’s going down.”

With stop-gap options littering the Sox’s lineup it’s difficult to gauge how good this team really is and how good they can be. As a team that’s four games under .500 and sitting in fourth in the American League Central (10-14), it’s too early to declare the season a lost cause one month in, yet expecting this version of the Sox to make the playoffs is foolish.

The Sox better hope the team

that has showed up through the first 24 games, one that is tied for the most errors in the AL (16) and owns the second-worst batting average (.229) in the majors, is the product of an unstable lineup. Otherwise they can start booking their offseason vacations in June.

“Guys are playing hard and this is one of those that is probably a work in progress of trying to figure that out and who’s playing and who’s doing what,” Ventura said. “But again, you try to make due, and make sure everybody is giving a constant effort. That’s all you can ask.”

decided by less than five runs • CUBS Continued from page B1 The Cubs’ poor hitting with runners in scoring position persisted. They led 3-2 after their first four batters reached in the third against Nolasco, but didn’t score again in the inning.

The Cubs’ average of .151 with runners in scoring position is the worst in the majors.

“We’re out there battling right to the last inning, and you saw that again today,” Sveum said. “It’s just one of those things you have to work through.”

Carlos Villanueva (1-1) allowed four runs in six innings, raising his ERA to 2.29. All 24 Cubs games have been decided by less than five runs, which ties for the second-longest such streak to start a season.

“Nobody has handed our butts to us,” Villanueva said.

“It has been close, and we’ve been one pitch away or a couple of hits away from winning. So I think you take that, and hopefully the weather keeps warming up, and we keep warming up with it.”

The Cubs’ Dioner Navarro homered in the ninth off Steve Cishek, who nonetheless earned his third save in four chances.

The Marlins improved to 6-19, still worst in the majors, and 3-10 at home. They benefited from a rare offensive outburst, scoring more than three runs for only the fifth time this season and twice coming from behind.

Stanton led the way, showing further signs he has shaken a prolonged slump to start the season.

“It was just a matter of time,” manager Mike Redmond said. “This guy is a special player. He’s a game-changer.”

Nick Green also hit a homer, and confessed he didn’t remember his last one because it came so long ago – in 2009.

Green said the return of Stanton’s power stroke gave the rest of the Marlins a boost.

“It’s huge for this team,” Green said. “Everybody expects him to hit a home run or get a guy in every single time, which isn’t possible.

But having him get his confidence back is the biggest thing to lift our team up.”

PLANO 8-17, INDIAN CREEK 6-3

Sycamore baseball sweeps Sterling DAILY CHRONICLE The Sycamore baseball team swept a doubleheader Saturday against Sterling, winning 4-1 and 3-1.

Alex Keller threw a complete game for the Spartans in game 1, earning the victory, while David Scholz had two hits for Sycamore. Alec Kozak had two runs scored.

Mitchell Jordan earned the victory in the second game, hurling a complete game.

Kozak had two hits while Keller and Brett Weaver had RBIs. “Played good the whole day and our pitching was great all day,” Sycamore coach Jason Cavanaugh said. “We didn’t swing the bats very well but got some timely hits in each game.”

Cogs split with H-BR: Hinckley-Big Rock beat Genoa-Kingston, 6-5, in Game 1 of a doubleheader. The Cogs came back to win the second game, 12-3.

Will Crozier went 2 for 4 with four RBIs for G-K in the first game, while Jake Langford was 2 for 3 with two stolen bases. Tommy Hansen earned the win for the Cogs in the second game, throwing six innings without giving up an earned run. Crozier went 2 for 3 with a triple and two runs scored, while Joe Murray was 3 for 4 with three RBIs. Kaneland, DeKalb split: Kaneland senior Dan Miller hit a tie-breaking, walk-off single in the bottom of the seventh inning in the first game of a doubleheader to help Kaneland split a Northern Illinois Big 12 East doubleheader with DeKalb.

After Kaneland senior right fielder Tyler Bellock doubled to lead off the inning, the Barbs retired two batters before Miller’s game-ending hit.

“He just drove a single right back up the middle to the center fielder, and there wasn’t even a play at the plate,” Kaneland coach Brian Aversa said.

“It was a nice little walk-off for him and for the team.”

The first game was a resumption of a weather-suspended game from April 16.

In Game 2, the Knights’ John Hopkins took the loss in his first outing of the season.

Knights catcher Josh Cohrs had two hits in both games of the doubleheader.

Kaneland is now 7-9 overall, 4-3 in Northern Illinois Big 12 East play.

a home run and two RBIs for Sycamore in the first game, while Taylor Jones finished 2 for 4.

The Spartans’ Jasmyne Taylor was 2 for 3 with a grand slam and a double in the finale, while Tristyn Criswell finished 2-for-2 and Jordyn Schultz 2 for 5.

McKenna Marcinkowski got the win to improve to 3-2 on the season.

Sycamore is now 7-12.

“You could tell the kids really enjoyed playing today after finally getting some nice weather. We had good energy in both games. Brit Huber had a big hit in Game 1 to get us going and Jasmyne Taylor gave us a great start in game two with a grand slam,” Sycamore coach Jill Carpenter said. “We played outstanding defense both games and that really kept us in game one and kept us winning game two. Our outfield played exceptionally well, running down some tough outs, getting to their backups and throwing three people out.

McKenna did a nice job hitting her spots for the most part and the defense really stepped up behind her.”

Kaneland 8-10, Geneseo 3-13 (9 inn.): At Maple Park, Kaneland split the Northern Illinois Big 12 crossover doubleheader. Ellissa Eckert was the winning pitcher in Game 1. The Knights (12-3) rallied to send the second game into extra innings but Geneseo scored five runs in the top of the ninth before Kaneland mustered two in the bottom half. Geneseo hit seven home runs on the day while Kaneland hit none.

GIRLS SOCCER Cogs win in shutout: Genoa-Kingston defeated Harvard, 6-0, to improve to 6-9 and 4-5 in Big Northern play.

Shannon Schumacher had two goals for the Cogs, with Viviana Beltran, Nicole Hebel, Katie Gahlbeck and Perla Orozco also scoring. Hebel, Danielle Johnson and Abbey Rasmussen had assists.

“Once we got going in the first half we really pressed their defense and got our attack organized well to put in some nice shots,” G-K coach Randy Tate said. “I thought we played well as a unit and we were able to have a balanced attack with several players invovled with our scoring. The defense also held strong, limiting their offense to very little opportunities.”

Timberwolves suffer doubleheader sweep

By BRIAN HOXSEY sports@daily-chronicle.com SHABBONA – Indian Creek baseball coach Joe Piekarz knew things would be tough for his club coming into Saturday’s doubleheader against visiting Plano, especially when it came to pitching.

The Timberwolves were in the midst of playing five games in four days and were taking the field with weary arms against a club that was hitting near .300. The T’Wolves skipper threw everything he had at the Reapers. However, the hosts ended up on the wrong end of 8-6 and 17-3 scores.

“I thought our pitchers did a great job today,” Piekarz said. “Winston Simpson for example, he hasn’t pitched a lot, but I asked him if he could throw strikes and he said ‘sure.’ I thought he did a great job of keeping things close in the opener and giving us an opportunity in the bottom of the seventh. In Game 2, Jake Wieseler really settled in after the first couple of innings. He started getting ahead of hitters and kept the ball down.”

The first game saw Indian Creek (6-9-1) put up four runs in the first inning as

Tim Sommerfeld and Drew Hendley led off with singles and came around to score on RBI hits from David Boehne and Wieseler. Plano (10-10) scored the next eight runs in the contest to lead 8-4 heading to the bottom of the seventh.

The Timberwolves received one-out singles from Boehne and Wiesler to load the bases, then after an out, Brock Myers was hit by a pitch and pinch-hitter Emerson Witte drew a walk to make it 8-6. However, the next hitter popped put to end the game.

“We always want to have a chance in that last inning,” Piekarz said. “To have the tying run at second, winning run at first, with probably our best hitter for average [Sommerfeld] coming up – you can’t ask for any more.

We unfortunately weren’t able to come through in that situation, but he’ll have that chance again down the road

and I suspect he will have a different outcome.”

The second game saw the Reapers plate seven runs in the opening two innings. Indian Creek got on the scoreboard with a run-scoring single from Headley in the second and brought across two runs in the fourth, one on a RBI groundout from Chris Pickwell to make it 7-3. Plano then put the game away with 10 runs during the next couple of innings, but that fact didn’t discourage things for Piekarz.

“We threw some guys today who haven’t necessarily pitched a lot, but I was proud of the fact they didn’t shy away from doing something uncomfortable, they wanted to take on that challenge” Piekarz said. “The scores may not indicate it, but I feel today will make us a better team.”

On the day, T’Wolves senior center fielder Dillon Martenson went 4 for 7 with two runs scored, while Hendley went 3 for 6 with a stolen base.

Also, Boehne and Wieseler had three hits apiece. “[Martenson] hit the ball solid today and earned his hits,” Piekarz said. “Jake had a really nice first game with the stick. He has been in a little bit of a funk lately, so it was great to see him kind of break out.”

GIRLS SOCCER Royals top ACC: Jacqueline Madden scored the game-winning goal for Hinckley-Big Rock in a 2-1 win over Aurora Central Catholic. Andrea Binckley scored the other run for H-BR, which is now 8-5-2.

GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD DeKalb, Sycamore post top-5 team finishes: DeKalb finished the Woodstock Invitational with a fourth-place finish, and Sycamore finished fifth.

DeKalb’s Kelsey Schrader won the 3,200. DeKalb’s Jasmine Brown won the triple jump and the long jump.

BOYS TRACK AND FIELD Kaneland wins CLC Invite: Kyle Carter finished first in the 800-meter run for Kaneland with a time of 1:58.20 as the Knights won the Crystal Lake Central Invite with 140.5 points.

The Knights’ 800 relay of Dylan Pennington, Brandon Cottier, Issac Swithers and Brnadon Bishop took first at 1:31.92. Kaneland’s 1,600 relay of Bishop, Carter, Dylan Nauert and Nathaniel Kucera also won with a mark of 3:22.88.

Former NIU cornerback Rashaan Melvin will join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent.

Ashford to join his hometown Browns • HUSKIES Continued from page B1 Fellow wideout Perez Ashford grew up in the Cleveland suburb of Shaker Heights, Ohio, and will be joining his hometown Browns. Defensive end Alan Baxter is headed to Pittsburgh where he’ll be an outside linebacker in the Steelers’ 3-4 system.

Ashford grew up a Browns fan. He said he also had offers from Arizona, Houston and Miami but felt Cleveland was the best fit.

“I feel like I’m living a dream right now,” Ashford

said. “I’m blessed and I’m thankful.”

Baxter is joining a team which already has talented outside linebackers in LaMarr Woodley and Lawrence Timmons and has a history of producing pro bowlers at the position. Baxter, who NIU listed at 6 feet, 240 pounds this past season, thinks he’ll fit well playing in a 3-4 system.

“There’s going to be a lot of guys ahead of me that I’m going to be able to learn from,” said Baxter, who was a firstteam All-MAC selection in 2012 after ranking 32nd in the country with 9.5 sacks. “Going to be able to learn from the best.

Like I said it’s a prestigious place to be, I’m really excited.”

In Tampa, Melvin joins a secondary which already includes former all-pro cornerback Darrelle Revis, who was recently acquired in a trade with the Jets.

Melvin said there were several teams interested, but thought joining the Bucs would be the best situation for him. One reason being he’d be able to pick Revis’ brain.

“I just thought it was a great fit,” he said. “They’ve got a great coaching staff. I got along with the coaches when I went on my visit. It felt like home.”

Secondhand breathers unharmed by E-cigs Dear Abby: I work in a small office with two former heavy smokers who have now transitioned to vapor/e-cigarettes.

My concern is that they “smoke” their e-cigarettes in the office constantly, and I don’t know what chemicals I am now breathing secondhand.

Both of them are senior to me in rank and age, and they pooh-pooh the notion that anything but water vapor is being exhaled. Am I making something out of nothing, or should I be worried about this? – Clean Air Dear Clean Air: You don’t have anything to worry about, but your co-workers may. In 2009, the FDA announced the findings from a laboratory analysis that indicated that electronic cigarettes expose users to harmful chemical ingredi-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips ents, including carcinogens.

However, those elements were NOT detected in exhaled vapor.

Dear Abby: The woman who collaborated with me on this letter is in her 80s and lives at an assisted-living facility.

I am a caregiver and a senior myself, and I have worked in this area for six years.

We read your column on the days I care for her. She loves it and responds verbally to all the letters. Many times the situations spark good conversation, even though her short-term memory is failing. Sometimes we end up howling with laughter. She’s

a delight and has the courage to still seek out relationships.

This is what she asked me to help her to communicate. – Kate in Austin, Texas Dear Abby: I have been in assisted living for seven years. There are times when it can be lonely and boring.

I’d like to meet some men for companionship, conversation and perhaps romance. The men here act so much older than me. They don’t start conversations. They stay in their rooms and watch TV and don’t seem interested in conversations.

It’s hard because my memory isn’t what it used to be, but I do remember how nice it was to have male companionship. Do you have any ideas to make my life a little more interesting? – Lonely Woman Dear Lonely: Start by making sure you participate

in all the activities your assisted-living facility offers.

Shared mealtimes and holiday celebrations also present opportunities to mingle.

The trick is to find something you have in common with these men – sports, games, music, movies.

Because long-term memory outlasts short-term memory, some of them might find it easier to discuss their youth than the present.

Encourage your caregiver, Kate, to take you places where you can meet other seniors. And while you’re at it, why not invite some of the men to join you both during your Dear Abby sessions? It’s a way to draw people out and get to know them better.

Dear Abby: After a sixmonth separation, my husband and I are reuniting.

We were married for 22 years.

I know for a fact he has dated and slept with several women. He’s adamant that he used protection each time, but the idea of STDs has me preoccupied and worried. I have asked him to use protection with me until I get over my fear.

How long do most of today’s STDs incubate, and what is a safe time to wait to remove the “rain gear”? – Longing For Contact Dear Longing: Congratulations on your reunion. Rather than worry about this, ask your husband to schedule a doctor’s appointment and be tested for any STD he might have contracted. Not all STDs have the same incubation period, but a blood test could resolve the issue and put your mind at ease.

Remove excess fluids to control incontinence Dear Dr. K: I have mild urinary incontinence. I’ve heard that something called “fluid management” can help.

Dear Reader: It can, and it’s a simple concept. The less water in your bladder, the less pressure your bladder feels to urinate. For some people, eliminating excess fluid intake is all it takes to bring urinary incontinence under control.

Start by following these guidelines to see if they help: • Drink only when you feel thirsty.

• Don’t exceed six to eight 8-ounce cups of fluid per day from all sources (unless you have a medical condition that

this technique alone helped reduce episodes of incontinence.

• If you tend to urinate a lot at night, making for poor sleep, be especially careful to requires more). Fluid sources limit the amount of fluid you include soup and even milk in drink at dinner and in the your cereal. evening.

al Academy of Sciences recommended one milliliter of fluid for each calorie burned.

That’s a little more than eight cups for a typical 2,000-calorie diet. However, the statement then explained that most of this fluid could be obtained from the liquid contained in foods.

Regardless, the eight-glasses-a-day dictum caught on. Indeed, today people often drink much more. Large amounts of water are claimed to promote weight loss as well as purify and detoxify the liver and other organs. But these claims are not based on fact. Drinking water won’t help you lose weight unless it replaces

high-calorie drinks such as soda and fruit juice. And a person with normal liver and kidney function does not have to worry about toxins.

On the other hand, cutting down on fluids might prevent embarrassing leaks and urgent trips to the bathroom.

So despite what you might have heard about drinking at least eight glasses of water a day for good health, if you have incontinence, drink no more than that. And remember that the “eight-glass” rule refers to all types of liquids, not just water.

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association

TODAY – A number of important endeavors that you’ve labored hard on could finally come to fruition in the year ahead.

Although they might have taken a while, these successes will now happen rapidly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Your optimistic disposition makes you a dominating force to be reckoned with. Anybody who dares try to upstage you is destined for second place.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Your detective abilities will be unusually sharp. If you happen to be working on something that calls for fact-finding, success is inevitable.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – The secret to dealing with others successfully is to make each and every person feel special, regardless of whether that person has done anything for you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – As long as your goals are well defined, you shouldn’t have any problems fulfilling them. Knowing what you want goes a long way to helping you get it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – You are apt to do better than most in matters that involve pronounced elements of chance. Your luck will be running high, so put it to use.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Make a goal you’ve been striving hard to attain your primary focus. It can easily become a reality if you relegate everything else to secondary status.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – This could be an unusually productive day for you, as long as you don’t put limits on your activities. You’re even capable of juggling several jobs simultaneously.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Because conditions are exceptionally favorable, you’re likely to be lucky, especially in your financial affairs. Focus on money matters.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Let the adage “If you want something done right, do it yourself,” govern your actions. If you delegate work, the results will be inferior.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Something you want badly is much closer than you think. Don’t allow any kind of setback to discourage you, because things will ultimately work out.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Your friends will have an enormous influence over your outlook and attitude. If possible, choose companions who have lots of positive mental and physical energy.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – You shouldn’t have trouble advancing your prestige and profits. Strike while the stars are in alignment and things are going your way.

Dr. Wallace: My daughter will be a high school freshman in September. She and her best friend talk constantly about going to school dances after football games.

I’m told by other parents that the Garden Grove school district will not allow parents

8SUDOKU

to act as dance chaperones. I think this is a terrible rule.

Concerned parents would make excellent chaperones at no cost to the school. I’m astounded at this rule. I would welcome chaperoning a dance where my daughter would be attending. I understand that you are a former high school administrator and would welcome your thoughts on this issue. – Mother, Garden Grove, Calif.

Mother: All chaperones should be school personnel only (teachers, counselors, administrators). They have the authority to deal with problems that might arise.

It wouldn’t be fair to place a parent in this role. But

parents should be welcome to stop by and visit the dance as guests with no disciplinary responsibility whatsoever.

The maximum length of the visit? Fifteen minutes! The maximum number of dances parents can visit? All of them if they so choose.

Contact the Garden Grove District Superintendent’s office to see if parents can make a short visit at school dances. I would be surprised if the answer was no. Parents were welcome to stop by school dances when I was an administrator in the Garden Grove School District.

8CROSSWORD

BRIDGE Phillip Alder

Responder makes his second bid Stephen Covey, whose most popular book was “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People,” said, “Every human has four endowments: self-awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination.

These give us the ultimate human freedom: the power to choose, to respond, to change.”

Last week, we looked at opener’s rebids. This week, we turn to the responder and his power to choose his rebid.

Assuming that the opener has made a minimum suit rebid, the responder divides his hand strength into three brackets: weak, game-invitational and game-forcing. If he is weak (6-9 points), he must rebid at the one-level or in two of a suit already bid by his partner or himself. So, in the given auction with a weak hand, he must pass or bid two spades. Anything else promises more strength.

Here, despite his doubleton club, South should rebid two spades. (Yes, it probably would have worked well if East or West had made a takeout double on the first round.)

West leads the diamond queen. The defenders take the first five tricks, two in diamonds and three in hearts, then exit with a club. How should South continue?

Declarer must play the trump suit without loss. He could cross to his ace, planning to return to the dummy with a club to take a spade finesse on the second round. Or he could finesse immediately.

Since West will have a low singleton spade four times more often than a singleton queen, it is correct to finesse on the first round. When the finesse wins, declarer returns to the board with a club, takes a second spade finesse, and claims.
