Price of becoming healthy Report shows gap in pricing among hospitals providing similar services By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Imagine a patient comes to a hospital sick, is diagnosed with appendicitis and needs the infected organ removed before it bursts. The patient qualifies for Medicare, so the hospital performing the appendectomy procedure will be reimbursed. But depending on how the patient responds to the procedure and how the hospital documents those treatments,
Go to Daily-Chronicle.com to see a table of the most expensive procedures at local hospitals. what they charge and what Medicare pays can differ from facility to facility. These and other factors are some of the many reasons why paying for hospital services is not like buying milk at the store, said Kevin Poorten, CEO of KishHealth System. The dif-
fering prices for medical treatments in areas such as Aurora, DeKalb and Rockford have some experts and hospital officials urging for a more consumer-driven health care system. Last month, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released data from 2011 on hospital charges and Medicare payments for more than 100 procedures. The data showed significant differences in the average covered charges for the same services offered by hospitals across the nation.
That holds true for hospitals in the region. For instance, the average covered charge for 19 patient discharges receiving treatment for respiratory infections and inflammations with complications for Kishwaukee Community Hospital was $40,017, of which Medicare paid 21.8 percent of those charges. Rush-Copley Medical Center in Aurora charged, on average, $56,516 for 16 patient discharges, with Medicare paying 17.3 percent of those charges.

Reformist takes early margin in Iran election The ASSOCIATED PRESS
A Cure,” hung over the starting line. Survivor Mary Rehak said she felt blessed to have cancer. “I know that’s funny to say or some of you might think,” Rehak said. “Not me.” Since she was diagnosed with breast cancer in February, she’s learned how good the community and medical care are in DeKalb County.
TEHRAN, Iran – Iran’s reformist-backed presidential candidate surged to a wide lead in early vote counting today, a top official said, suggesting a flurry of late support could have swayed a race that once appeared solidly in the hands of Tehran’s ruling clerics. But the strong margin for former nuclear negotiator Hasan Rowhani was not yet enough to give him an outright victory and avoid a two-person runoff next Friday. Rowhani had 46.6 percent of the more than 861,000 votes tallied, said Iran’s interior minister, Mostafa Mohammad Najjar, well ahead of Tehran Mayor Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf with about 14.6 percent. Hardline nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili Hasan was slightly behind Rowhani in third. It was unclear when the final count would be known. Iran has more than 50 million eligible voters, and turnout in Friday’s election was believed to be high. Many reform-minded Iranians who have faced years of crackdowns looked to Rowhani’s rising fortunes as a chance to claw back a bit of ground. While Iran’s presidential elections offer a window into the political pecking orders and security grip inside the country – particularly since the chaos from a disputed outcome in 2009 – they lack the drama of truly high stakes as the country’s ruling clerics and their military guardians remain the ultimate powers. Election officials began the ballot count after voters waited in line for hours in wilting heat at some polling stations in downtown Tehran and other cities, while others cast ballots across the vast country from desert outposts to Gulf seaports and nomad pastures.

Cancer survivor Raegan Mann, 6, of DeKalb decides what candy she wants Friday during the 17th annual Relay For Life of DeKalb County at Sycamore High School. Raegan has been in remission from ganglioneuroblastoma for three years. Survivors, caregivers and supporters walked and raised money from 6 p.m. Friday until 6 a.m. today.

Relay For Life of DeKalb County raises more than $60K By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Landon Cooper held up a pair of Hoka shoes at the Relay For Life opening ceremony. The size 10 shoes still had mud on them from Nebraska. He wore them while running through several states to raise money to cure sarcoma cancer. The shoes alone have raised about $30,000 for cancer research, he said.
Cooper and his Miles 2 Give team have been traveling on foot from the Pacific Ocean and made a stop at Sycamore to say hello to survivors of cancer and donate to Relay For Life. He auctioned his shoes, along with several other items. “Our goal is the same as yours: $100,000,” Cooper said. Cooper was one of many participants who came to Relay For Life at Sycamore High School on Friday to support survivors, raise money and
have a good time. The event, which has been held in the county for 17 years, is hosted by Relay For Life of DeKalb County and the American Cancer Society. More than 330 participants registered and raised more than $62,000 Friday evening. Participants who came walked laps around the school’s track to show their determination to fight cancer and care for those who have been affected by it.

Academy showcases good in community Often in the news, and in our online comments section after news stories are posted at Daily-Chronicle. com, the focus is on things that seem to be going wrong or that need to be improved. It’s issues and controversy that make news, and we have our share of them on the local, state and national levels. A fact easily forgotten, though, is that there are many good people in our community who work hard – many as volunteers – to make this a better place to live for all of us. That was my takeaway from participating in the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce’s DeKalb Leadership Academy. For the past 10 months, I was one of a class of more than 20 people who met monthly at different sites in DeKalb and Sycamore to learn more about the organizations and people who make things work in DeKalb County. It was an invaluable experience that I hope will make me a better steward of the Daily Chronicle’s newsroom. It also gave me and my classmates a new appreciation for just how much behind-the-scenes work goes into 5K races, community events and charity efforts that we report on daily. With a class of more than 20 people who live or work in DeKalb or the surrounding area, we had a good cross section, and it also showed that there is an incredible amount of talent in our community. When talented people work together – busy though they may be – they can accomplish great things. Members of this class created a Bike Safety Rodeo that is expected to continue through the Kishwaukee YMCA. That was the brainchild of Sonoco Alloyd safety guru and lifelong DeKalb resident Bruce McCord. McCord’s idea was the starting point, but the other members of his team, including Lindsey Engelsman, Mark Mattson, David Galica, Greg Herring, Heather Ferguson, Laura Nesbitt, Brian Oster and the never stressed Christina Severson all worked to make it happen. DeKalb and Sycamore police, the YMCA and others from the com-
EDITOR’S NOTE Eric Olson munity joined them to teach children about bicycle safety – something they certainly need to know. The group of which I was a member was led by Shannon Barnaby, an attorney at the Foster and Buick Law Group. Barnaby wanted to do something for a cause important to her – juvenile (also called Type I) diabetes. The plan was to stage a 5K run to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Resource Foundation, which seemed simple until we actually started putting it all together. However, the DeKalb Park District and city of DeKalb administration and police department were very helpful, as were others in the community who had organized other races. There were a lot of details to work out, probably more than I and my teammates Michael Cullen Jr., Mandy Kakac, Carolyn Leist, MaryJo McAdams and Matthew Wray imagined. But when the race day came, the Beatin’ ‘Betes 5K raised more than $3,400. It also gave me a renewed appreciation for all that goes into organizing these events. Hats off to all those who strive to put together the different fundraisers that seem to fill the calendar month after month. Speaking of good causes, the third group in our class championed an effort by Leah Jordal of the Voluntary Action Center. The group comprised of Robin Franklin, Tatum Glas, Diana King, Liz LeMay and Kathleen Patterson created new marketing material designed to recruit volunteers for the Meals on Wheels program. We also were lucky enough to hear from people in the county whose names are too numerous to list about how things many of us take for granted in our day-to-day lives actually work. If you’re interested in joining the class of 2013-14, learn more online at www.dekalb.org/chamber/leadership_academy.aspx. If you have the inclination to learn
more about the community and how leaders push us forward, it’s well worth the investment of time. To the girl dads: Some guys make only girls. I’m one of those guys. I learned this week that my wife and I will have our third girl months from now. I was not surprised. My mother told me I would have a girl family. And she was right. She was right when our first born, Alayna, first erroneously reported to be a boy, arrived eight years ago. She was right again a few years later, when Allyson joined us on New Year’s Eve. And, unless the sophisticated test results are somehow completely off, she’ll be right when the next one arrives months from now, God willing. I’ve been telling people about it this week, and they’ve been laughing at me. All girls. Good luck with that, guy. But don’t feel too bad for us girl dads. It’s not so bad. Actually, for me, it’s great. I play Barbies, but only on the condition that I get to be “the boy.” I’ve seen several movies about princesses. I’ve been to multiple daddy-daughter dances. I took them camping this week and made them get dirty. Truth is, it doesn’t really matter what we do so much as the fact that they’re my children and we’re doing it together. Do girl dads need to hide sometimes? Absolutely. Preferably to a space where there is a cold beer and sports on TV. But that’s probably true of all dads, and moms, too, although their retreat might include a bubble bath or whatever it is that moms like to do when no one’s around. Raising children, no matter their gender or yours, is a challenge. Which is why we have Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. If you’re a girl dad like me, I hope your daughters got you something thoughtful.

Reaction cool to U.S. arms plan for Syrian rebels The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – The Obama administration hopes its decision to give lethal aid to Syrian rebels will prompt other nations to beef up assistance, now that the U.S. has cited evidence that the Syrian government used chemical weapons against its people. But the international reaction Friday ranged from flatout disbelief of the U.S. intelligence assessments to calls for negotiation before more weapons pour into the vicious civil war. The administration now says it has “high confidence” that President Bashar Assad’s forces have killed up to 150 people with sarin gas. Although that’s
a tiny percentage of the approximately 93,000 killed in the civil war so far, the use of a chemical weapon crosses President Barack Obama’s “red line” for escalating U.S. involvement in the conflict and prompted the decision to send arms and ammunition, not just humanitarian aid and defensive nonlethal help such as armored vests and night goggles. The administration’s plan heading into the G8 meeting of industrialized nations beginning Monday is to use the chemical weapons announcement and Obama’s decision on arms to persuade Russia to increase pressure on Assad to send a credible negotiating team to Geneva for talks with the opposition.
In addition, Obama is expected to use the meeting and discussions on the sidelines to further coordinate with the British, French and potentially others an increase of assistance – lethal, nonlethal and humanitarian – to the rebels, the political opposition and refugees. In a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice said the United States has determined that sarin was used in a March 19 attack on the Aleppo suburb of Khan al-Assal and in an April 13 attack on the neighborhood of Shaykh Maqsud. She said unspecified chemicals, possibly including chemical warfare agents, were used May 14 in an attack on Qasr Abu Sam-
rah and in a May 23 attack on Adra. U.S. officials have not disclosed any details about the weapons they intend to send to Syria or when and how they will be delivered. According to officials, the U.S. is most likely to provide the rebel fighters with small arms, ammunition, assault rifles and a variety of anti-tank weaponry such as shoulder-fired rocket-propelled grenades and other missiles. As of Friday, however, no final decisions had been made on the details or when it would reach the rebels, according to the officials, who insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss internal administration discussions with reporters.

Tattoo artist gets dose of reality show DeKalb Park Board silent after meeting By DAVID THOMAS

DeKALB – Chris May, owner of Proton Tattoo in DeKalb, beat out 28,000 applicants to land one of 16 spots on this season of “Ink Master.” “Last year, I almost got on the show ‘Tattoo Nightmares,’ and I was down to the final five,” May said. H e s a i d More info familiarity with produc- Season three ers and the premiere of “Ink audition proMaster” will air cess helped at 9 p.m. July 16 him during on Spike. this audition, w h i c h i n - For more cluded a trip information, visit t o C h i c a g o www.spike.com. and numerous calls and emails with the show’s producers. “Ink Master” is a reality show on the Spike network in which tattoo artists compete in challenges that test their tattooing and artistic skills. One artist is eliminated from the show each week. The winner is awarded a $100,000 cash prize and given the title of “Ink Master.” The show, which is hosted by tattoo aficionado and Jane’s Addiction musician Dave Navarro, is in its third season. This season’s contestants include four women and 12 men from all over the country. “I watched the show and I thought, ‘I could (win) that show,’ but when you get there (on set), they run you through the wringer,” May said. May thinks the producers
DeKALB – The DeKalb Park Board members spent 45 minutes discussing personnel behind closed doors this week but made no comment on Executive Director Cindy Capek’s status. Capek, whose annual salary is $116,981, was not at Thursday’s public meeting, the first since board members had a closed-door meeting about personnel May 24. At least one park commissioner is concerned about secrecy surrounding that meeting, but board President Phil Young declined to comment late Thursday. “I can’t make any comments about personnel,” Young said when asked about Capek’s employment status and the park district’s policy on severances. With Capek as the top administrator, the district has grappled with plans to renovate Hopkins Pool and with
public outcry after ComEd cleared trees underneath power lines along the Nature Trail. Portions of the trail have been replanted, and the pool renovations were put on hold May 9 after three new park commissioners – Per Faivre, Don Irving and Keith Nyquist – joined the board. On Thursday, the board went into executive session for 45 minutes after spending 45 minutes discussing other issues at the public meeting. After the closed session, the board instantly adjourned without taking any public action or making public comments. Young privately met with James Rock, the park district’s attorney, for another 45 minutes in the executive director’s office before taking media questions. Young had previously said he hoped to make some kind of statement about the situation at this meeting. When asked what had changed since making those comments, Young
declined to comment. “Whenever we can make a comment, it will be through public forum,” Young said. Capek is still listed as the executive director on the park district’s website, but her phone extension no longer works. The executive director office where Young and Rock spoke lacked personal effects Thursday. In the alphabetized mailbox used by the administrative staff, the slot that would have Capek’s name is unmarked. Meanwhile, Commissioner Mike Teboda protested the secrecy of the May 24 meeting by voting against the approval of its minutes. Teboda did not attend that meeting, Young said. The minutes state the board went into executive session, then came back to the public meeting to direct Young to “talk to personnel about personnel employment.” “It’s not very clear,” Teboda said. “It’s confusing. For Joe Public to come in, it would be confusing.”

For the show’s season premiere, which airs July 16,
the contestants went to a prison to tattoo inmates who were the “canvases” that the judges evaluate as part of the competition. “I was fortunate that I had some of the best people on there,” Chris May said. “Some people were fighting with their canvases.” May is prohibited from saying how he did on the show. This season’s winner will be announced live during the season finale in October.

8OBITUARIES PHILIP FLOIT Born: Feb. 25, 1930 Died: June 13, 2013 SYCAMORE – Philip Floit, lifelong resident of Sycamore, Ill., and an octogenarian, passed away on June 13, 2013. Born Feb. 25, 1930, he married Dolores Gertrude Ells on Feb. 27, 1952, and they had a passel of children, all of whom survive him: Cathy (Floit) and Steve Schneider of Seattle, Wash., Gary and Carol Floit of Kingston, Karen (Floit) and Leo Odom of DeKalb, Mary (Floit) and Kirk Carrico of Casper, Wyo., Jay and Katherine Floit of Sycamore, Amy Floit of Seattle and Sara (Floit) Mathews of Goodlettsville, Tenn. In addition, Philip had six grandchildren: Rachael (Floit) and Jeremy Bacon of Jonesboro, Ark., Katie (Floit) and Theodore J. Aretos of Carpentersville, Melanie (Floit) and Daryl Edwards of Sycamore, Marissa Odom and Tommy Young of Dowagiac, Mich., Emma Floit of Sycamore and Ryan Floit of Sycamore. He also had five great-grandchildren: Naomi Bacon, Max Aretos, Sebastian Galindo, Santiago Galindo and Myla Young. Philip also is survived by one brother, Clarence Floit of Oak Crest DeKalb Area Retirement Center, DeKalb; sister-in-law, Helen Floit of Aurora; and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Philip, better known as “Flip” to his buddies, had lots of friends. His heart’s desire was to be a farmer,

and he got in a few good “licks” over the years, but that was not his main job. Flip primarily worked for his brother, Roy, as a loader at “Floit’s Sand and Gravel” (now known as Vulcan Material’s) until his retirement. After that, you might have seen him in one of the clubs around town playing “Lightening” or chatting to his many friends at Parkway Restaurant. Flip also took up golf late in life and became quite good at it. After a bad fall, Flip ended up at DeKalb County Rehab & Nursing Center where he resided down the hallway nicknamed “Hummingbird Lane.” Flip made friends of staff and residents alike, but all he wanted to do was “go home.” His failing health prevented him from doing so. Flip was a gregarious man known for his sassy and mischievous sense of humor that he passed down to all of his kids. They will miss him. He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Freda Floit; brother, Roy Floit; brother, Harold Floit; sister, Elizabeth (Lizzy) Stark; and sister, Vera Schlagle. Last of all, gone but never forgotten, his dear wife of 39 years, Dolores Gertrude Ells, who passed away on Dec. 18, 1991. Philip now joins Dolores, “Together forever.” The man on Hummingbird Lane has truly gone home. The family would like to thank the DeKalb County Rehab & Nursing Center for their many kind-
nesses and care for “Flip” during his residency. They also would like to thank Midwest Orthopedics, Kishwaukee Community Hospital, TransVAC, DaVita, Ridge Ambulance Service and Atec Ambulance Service. Without these much needed facilities and services and people, “Flip’s” specialized care would not have been possible. The funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, June 19, at Olson Funeral & Cremation Services Ltd., Quiram Sycamore Chapel, 1245 Somonauk St., Sycamore, IL 60178, with the Rev. Harlene Harden officiating. Interment will be at Elmwood Cemetery in Sycamore. A visitation will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at the funeral chapel.

Dems to try again on Madigan’s pension bill By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press CHICAGO – A solution to Illinois’ worst-in-the-nation state pension crisis remained far from reach Friday, as legislative leaders and Gov. Pat Quinn said they would try again to pass a plan backed by House Speaker Michael Madigan – one that failed in the Senate last month and is unlikely to pass next week. Quinn met with Madigan, Senate President John Cullerton and Republican leaders Sen. Christine Radogno and Rep. Tom Cross in Chicago to try to forge an agreement before a special legislative session scheduled for Wednesday. But Madigan and Cullerton – both Democrats who lead veto-proof majorities – hadn’t broke their stalemate over how to address the $97 billion shortfall, and Radogno said the meeting was like watching “an awkward family fight.” “It was uncomfortable,” Radogno said. “It was clear that there is not even close to agreement between the Democrats.” Quinn suggested Friday lawmakers form a bipartisan conference committee to come up with an agreement, a tactic that hasn’t been tried in Illinois in years. His spokeswoman, Brooke Anderson, said “on a really tricky issue, this is a way for an agreement to be forged.” But Madigan objected, saying he’s “concerned that it’s an effort by the governor to distance himself from the process” – a claim Quinn flatly denied. Quinn and legislative leaders said they would first
House OKs sweeping $638 billion defense bill The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – The House overwhelmingly passed a sweeping, $638 billion defense bill Friday that imposes new punishments on members of the armed services found guilty of rape or sexual assault as outrage over the crisis in the military has galvanized Congress. Ignoring a White House veto threat, the Republican-controlled House voted 315-108 for the legislation, which would block President Barack Obama from closing the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and limit his efforts to reduce nuclear weapons. The House bill containing the provisions on sex-related crimes that the Obama administration supports as well as the detention policies that it vigorously opposes must be reconciled with a Senate version before heading to the president’s desk. The Senate measure, expected to be considered this fall, costs $13 billion less than the House bill – a budgetary difference that also will have to be resolved. The defense policy bill authorizes money for aircraft, weapons, ships, personnel and the war in Afghanistan in the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1 while blocking the Pentagon from closing domestic bases. Shocking statistics that as many as 26,000 military members may have been sexually assaulted last year and high-profile incidences at the service academies and in the ranks pushed lawmakers to tackle the growing problem of sexual assault. A single case of a commander overturning a conviction – a decision that even Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel couldn’t change – drove Congress to act swiftly. Direct from Alaska

8STATE BRIEF CPS lays off nearly 850 after school closings OK’d CHICAGO – Chicago Public Schools says its plan to close 50 schools and programs means that it will have to lay off nearly 850 workers. The district says those notified Friday include about 550 teachers along with teacher assistants, bus aides,
clerks, custodians and security officers. CPS says some of those workers will be eligible to reapply for other jobs. They will be notified in mid-July. The Chicago board of education voted last month to close facilities it says are underused. Supporters say the closings will save the district
hundreds of millions of dollars over 10 years and improve education. But the Chicago Teachers Union and others have said the closings disproportionately affect minority neighborhoods and will endanger children who may have to cross gang boundaries to get to a new school.

Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan speaks at a news conference Friday in Chicago after attending a meeting with Gov. Pat Quinn and Senate President John Cullerton in an attempt to solve the state’s worst-in-the-nation $97 billion pension crisis. The Democratic leaders in the Legislature said Friday that they would try again to pass a pension-reform plan backed by Madigan, but rejected a request from Quinn to form a bipartisan conference committee. try to give Madigan’s bill another run in the Senate. The measure already has passed the House, but received only 16 “yes” votes in the Senate; it would need 36 such votes to pass next week. Quinn and Madigan said they will speak with senators over the next few days to try pick up support for the measure, which cuts pension benefits across the board, raises the retirement age and requires workers and retirees to pay more toward their retirement benefits. Cullerton was not optimistic. “It will be very difficult to get 20 of them to change their minds, but we’ll try,” he said. The Senate approved legislation sponsored by Cullerton that gives workers and retirees a choice in benefits. He said his members want Madigan to call that bill for a vote and predicted it has enough votes to “fly out of the House.” Cullerton believes it’s the only
approach that will survive an inevitable court challenge. Madigan has not been willing to call Cullerton’s bill, however, saying it doesn’t save the state enough money. Quinn said he will “make a herculean effort” to get senators to vote for Madigan’s bill, but that the four legislative leaders also need to do their part and build support among legislators. He said if the stalemate isn’t broken by Wednesday, he will again ask for the formation of a conference committee. Madigan and Cullerton each would appoint three legislators and Radogno and Cross each would appoint two, and the group then would negotiate an agreement. There’s no guarantee what such a committee drafts would become law, because it would have to be approved by both chambers – where it could run into the same problems as the existing legislative proposals.

Official: Data not consumer-friendly • HOSPITALS Continued from page A1 UNDERLYING ISSUES A lack of a functioning price system is the underlying issue with the way hospitals price services, said James Ciesla, nursing and health studies professor for Northern Illinois University. Patients are not aware of the variation in hospital charges and Medicare payments because they either do not pay for their treatments or they are insured, he said. “People do not discipline the market by being consumers,” Ciesla said. Poorten said if people get medical bills paid by their employer, they do not feel the need to be informed. A majority of patients in the state do not pay charges, according to a news release from the Illinois Hospital Association. Another issue is that hospitals lack standards for what they charge, and their charges are often ignored by Medicare when it comes to reimbursement, Ciesla said. As an example, he said one hospital might charge a flu shot recipient for the shot itself, the syringe and the nurse’s time but a second one might lump all those charges together. Medicare doesn’t pay attention to what a hospital charges for its services, and that makes hospitals less prone to spend more effort on making sure charges are accurate, he said. Medicare uses a fee schedule to decide how much of a given treatment will be paid. Poorten said the region where a hospital is located can affect how it prices services. Certain regions, such as Chicago, have higher labor costs than regions in Alabama, he said. Medicare will factor that into its consideration when reimbursing hospitals, he said. KishHealth System aims to keep prices of its services and treatments in the middle range of what the market offers, Poorten said. That range is based on the number of facilities, investments, wages and technology that exist in the KishHealth System. Contractual agreements with private insurers also can affect how the system prices services, he said. Hospitals tend to receive less money from Medicare than what was initially charged, he said. Certain types of hospitals – such as a critical-access hospital – can get paid more by Medicare because they have been federally designated as essential to their community.
CHANGES COMING While consumers may not have a strong role in how hospitals price their services, Poorten said in the near future value-based purchasing will determine how hospitals serve patients. Under this model, hospitals can qualify for enhanced reimbursement from Medicare based on the services and quality of treatment outcomes. “For every facility that’s getting the enhanced reimbursement because they met that patient satisfaction and quality outcomes, there’s another hospital losing money,” Poorten said. Poorten said valued-based purchasing would raise the

bar on hospital services. As of now, consumers pay indirectly for their treatments through insurance premiums or deductibles, but it’s a small part of the total cost of health care. The U.S. health care system tends to be confusing and different for everyone because health insurance is employer-based and employers create different incentives to recruit and retain employees, said Heath Bell, chief information officer and vice president of revenue cycle for KishHealth System. Poorten said health care is too expensive in the U.S. but that may change with the Affordable Care Act in 2014, which plans on increasing access to health care, improving its quality and driving down overall costs. “The proof will be in the pudding as to whether or not collectively, as an industry and as a country, [we] ac-

complish all three of those lofty and appropriate goals,” Poorten said. Ciesla said one way the costs of health care could be controlled is with Medicare forcing hospitals to take less money. He said he finds it as the only demonstrated way of reducing health care costs. While the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services data were released as part of President Barack Obama’s goal to make the health care system more affordable and accountable, Caroline Steinberg, vice president of trends analysis for the American Hospital Association, said the information is not useful for consumers because they are not shown what they are expected to pay. “It doesn’t show payment rates but it does show charges,” Steinberg said. “It’s not data in a consumer-friendly format.”

Voting was extended by five hours to meet demand, but also as possible political stagecraft to showcase the participation. The apparent strong turnout – estimated at 75 percent by the hardline newspaper Kayhan – suggested liberals and others abandoned a planned boycott as the election was transformed into a showdown across the Islamic Republic’s political divide. On one side were hard-liners looking to cement their control behind candidates such as Jalili, who says he is “100 percent” against detente with Iran’s foes, or Qalibaf. Opposing them were reformists and others rallying behind the “purple wave” campaign of Rowhani, the lone relative moderate left in the race. The interior minister said Rowhani had more than 401,000 votes from the 861,866 counted so far. Qalibaf trailed with nearly 127,000, and Jalili had more than 119,000. The other three candidates were further back. But even if the last-moment surge around Rowhani brings him to the presidency, it would be more of a limited victory than a deep shake-up. Iran’s establishment – a tight alliance of the ruling clerics and the ultra-powerful Revolutionary Guard – still holds all the effective power and sets the agenda on all major decisions such as Iran’s nuclear program and its dealings with the West. Security forces also are in firm control after waves of arrests and relentless pressures since the last presidential election in 2009, which unleashed massive protests over claims the outcome was rigged to keep the combative Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in power for a second and final term. He is barred from seeking a third consecutive run.
The greater comfort level by the theocracy and Revolutionary Guard sets a different tone this time. Opposition groups appear too intimidated and fragmented to revive street demonstrations, and even a win by Rowhani – the only cleric in the race – would not likely be perceived as a threat to the ruling structure. Rowhani led the influential Supreme National Security Council and was given the highly sensitive nuclear envoy role in 2003, a year after Iran’s 20-year-old atomic program was revealed. “Rowhani is not an outsider and any gains by him do not mean the system is weak or that there are serious cracks,” said Rasool Nafisi, an Iranian affairs analyst at Strayer University in Virginia. “The ruling system has made sure that no one on the ballot is going to shake things up.” Yet a Rowhani victory would not be entirely without significance either. It would make room for more moderate voices in Iranian political dialogue and display their resilience. It also would bring onto the world stage an Iranian president who has publicly endorsed more outreach rather than bombast toward the West. The last campaign events for Rowhani carried chants that had been bottled up for years. Some supporters called for the release of political prisoners including opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mahdi Karroubi, both candi-
dates in 2009 and now under house arrest. “Long live reforms,” some cried at Rowhani’s last rally. The rally was awash in purple banners and scarves – the campaign’s signature hue in a nod to the single-color identity of Mousavi’s now-crushed Green Movement. “My mother and I both voted for Rowhani,” said Saeed Joorabchi, a university student in geography, after casting ballots at a mosque in west Tehran. In the Persian Gulf city of Bandar Abbas, local journalist Ali Reza Khorshidzadeh said many polling stations had significant lines and many voters appeared to back Rowhani. Just a week ago, Rowhani was seen as overshadowed by candidates with far deeper ties to the current power structure: Jalili and Qalibaf, who was boosted by a reputation as a steady hand for Iran’s sanctions-wracked economy. Then a moderate rival of Rowhani bowed out of the presidential race to consolidate the pro-reform camp. That opened the way for high-profile endorsements including his political mentor, former President Akbar Heshmi Rafsanjani, who won admiration from opposition forces for denouncing the postelection crackdowns in 2009. This, too, may have led to Rafsanjani’s being blackballed from the ballot this year by Iran’s election overseers, which allowed just eight candidates among more than 680 hopefuls.

DeKalb library benefits from national grant
Remembering my ‘monster’ of a father With Father’s Day on Sunday, there is good news and bad news. First the negative: Single mothers head up almost 9 percent of American households. The good news? Fathers who care are making a huge difference in this country. How do I know? It is estimated that close to 40 percent of all those incarcerated in the USA did not have a father in their childhood home. So doing the math, a responsible father seems to be a strong force for promoting righteous conduct. It was never easy being a father. Did you know that American icon Davy Crockett abandoned his children? And many other famous men did, as well. Shameful. You can’t be a real man if you don’t look out for your kids. They need you. There are plenty of books by dads explaining the dilemma of contemporary fatherhood, and it is true that dad-ism in today’s high-tech world is not easy. My father firmly embraced the Ralph Kramden philosophy: He was king of his Levittown castle. He worked hard, and his family deferred to his wishes. Except me. I did not defer and was disciplined accordingly. But today most fathers don’t rule as my father did. In general, modern dads are more enlightened. We bring diplomacy to
VIEWS Bill O’Reilly the home rather than the “my way or the highway” post-World War II paternal strategy. But looking back, I clearly understand that witnessing a “chain of command” approach in my house was a positive thing for me. My father provided a strong point of view on life and was a leader. Boys, especially, need that. Even though I am now a 1 percenter economically, I rarely waste money. Every time I am tempted to buy some dopey thing, I hear my late father’s voice: “Do you really need that?” He was big on saving money and buying as much security as possible. He also encouraged charitable giving. So I am responsible with currency. Also, I go to church every Sunday because my family always went to church. It didn’t matter if the priest was speaking Flemish from the pulpit – we went. It was an obligation. Now, I fulfill my obligations. All of them. My father also taught us to respect our country. He was a naval officer. So there
was no slacking on Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Veterans Day. We knew what they meant. Today, a flag flies daily in front of my house. Finally, I was never really tempted by drugs and alcohol. My father thought addicts were weak and intoxication was stupid. I never saw him high. He had a beer or two but never lost control of himself. By osmosis, I have adopted the sober attitude. It really has served me well. As a teenager, I called my dad “the monster” to his face. He laughed. He even referred to himself as “the monster” when doling out orders to his offspring. There were many times when I resented my tough dad and wanted Ozzie Nelson to replace him. But now I’m a father, and I realize that status is the most important thing in my life. There’s no question who provided that perspective. So on Father’s Day 2013, I remember my dad and the indelible gifts he gave me.

retirement but no benefit from delaying retirement beyond the traditional age. My own reading of all of these studies is that there is at least strongly suggestive evidence that not working, in and of itself, can be harmful to your health. And this raises the question of what it means for the puzzling finding that overall life expectancy appears to rise, not fall, during recessions. Now I’m only speculating, but the answer could lie in the fact that, even during a recession, most people still work. Because a larger-than-usual minority don’t, pollution is reduced, traffic fatalities decline and the quality of staffing at nursing homes improves – and these changes boost the health of the people who are still working. It’s terrible to say, but the research seems to suggest that being out of work yourself may hurt your health – but having other people out of work may help it. Which brings us back to Mr. Roosevelt. Most of us seem to think that we would be in better health if we won the lottery and spent our days on the beach, rather than struggling with sometimes stressful jobs. Yet the next time you think your job is killing you, just remember that the evidence, if anything, suggests the opposite. Your job may be saving your life.

Thumbs up: To the DeKalb Public Library for securing its seventh consecutive Big Read grant. The $15,000 award from the National Endowment for the Arts will fund a series of events surrounding “True Grit” by Charles Portis. The1968 novel is about a young girl seeking revenge for her father’s murder. We can’t wait to see what fun the library and the other members of the steering committee (Altrusa International of Sycamore/DeKalb, Kishwaukee College Family Literacy program, DeKalb School District 428 and Northern Illinois University’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences) have in store for us. Thumbs up: To everyone who raised money, walked laps and provided support for the DeKalb County Relay For Life at Sycamore High School on Friday evening and this morning. In the past 17 years, Relay For Life events have raised more than $1.5 million in DeKalb County for the American Cancer Society. Cancer is such a destructive, pervasive disease that we’re glad events such as these recognize the survivors and caregivers and remember those who lost their battle. Thumbs down: To the DeKalb Park District commissioners for not being more forthcoming on who is leading this large and important local taxing body. This week, park commissioners spent 45 minutes discussing personnel behind closed doors but declined to comment on the status of park district Executive Director Cindy Capek. Her office is devoid of personal items, and her phone extension no longer works there. Questions about Capek’s status have lingered for weeks, and we’d like to see the people elected to do the people’s work be a little more forthcoming with constituents. Thumbs up: To the great teachers in our area. One such teacher, Dave Meyer at Sycamore Middle School, was recognized by the Illinois State Board of Education this week. Meyer, who teaches technology and has been in the field for 25 years, received the Star in the Classroom award. Sycamore Middle School Principal Jim Cleven said Meyer relates well to his students. “He has a wealth of knowledge and gets things across to them that are pertinent to their lives,” Cleven said. Congratulations, Mr. Meyer. Thumbs up: To healthy eating. Thanks to a voucher program underwritten by KishHealth System in coordination with the Family Service Agency and the county health department’s WIC program, more than 400 families last year were able to buy fresh produce at DeKalb and Sycamore farmers markets. In its first year, $6,000 worth of vouchers were available; last year, $7,000 and this year, $10,000. Vendors at the markets benefit from customers they would not otherwise have had and low-income seniors and families benefit from access to fresh, healthy food that might otherwise be priced out of reach.

More transparency needed for Medicare Information can be efficiency’s best friend. The more that participants in the marketplace know about the true costs and benefits of various goods and services, and about the behavior of other individuals and firms, the easier it is for them to get the most for their money. The U.S. health-care system notoriously lacks transparency, which may be a reason why it produces poorer results at higher cost than do systems elsewhere. So one of the more encouraging recent developments in health care has been the Obama administration’s disclosure of data about how Medicare spends roughly $500 billion each year. Last month, the Department of Health and Human Services released the average charges for the 100 most common inpatient procedures, revealing wide and seemingly inexplicable price variations between neighboring hospitals. Last week, HHS produced average charges for 30 outpatient procedures from hospitals across the country. Now a federal court in Florida has opened a legal pathway to even more Medicare transparency. Judge Marcia Morales Howard vacated a 33-year-old injunction that barred HHS from ever telling the public how much it reimburses individual health-care providers. The gag order was imposed in 1979 at the request of the American Medical Association, which claimed that its members’ financial privacy was threatened by a Carter administration attempt to reveal that information. Dow Jones, publisher of the Wall Street Journal, and other advocates of disclosure argued that doctors’ privacy is now outweighed by the public’s interest in knowing what happens to a flow of taxpayer funds that is many times bigger than it was in 1979. Judge Howard ruled that the 1979 order has been superseded by subsequent federal court interpretations of privacy law – echoing an argument that the Obama administration, again to its credit, had made before the court. Doctors should stop resisting the transparency movement and join it. After all, their profession is founded on a belief in free inquiry and the unhindered flow of useful information. Washington Post

Leffler’s death puts spotlight on short tracks BROOKLYN, Mich. – Tony Stewart opened his remarks with a few words about his relationship with Jason Leffler. Moments later, he offered a brief plea amid growing safety questions about Leffler’s death at a dirt-track race earlier this week. “I’d be grateful if you guys would understand that what happened this week wasn’t because somebody didn’t do something right with the race track. It was an accident. Just like if you go out and there’s a car crash. It’s an accident,” Stewart said Friday at Michigan. “Nobody as a track owner wants to go through what happened this week, but it’s not due to a lack of effort on their part to try to make their facilities as safe as possible under the conditions they have.” Leffler died Wednesday night from injuries suffered in a sprint car crash at Bridgeport Speedway in Swedesboro, N.J. The Delaware County (Pa.) medical examiner determined Leffler died from a blunt force neck injury. He was 37 and is survived by a 5-year-old son. Stewart knows all about the challenges facing track owners. He owns Eldora Speedway in Ohio, a dirt track that will host a NASCAR Truck Series race next month. He’s one of a handful of big names who will show up to race at small, local tracks from time to time, but Leffler’s death brought renewed attention to the safety of those races – and not everyone is optimistic. “I don’t run those races for a reason. I have teams, yes, certainly. There are a handful of drivers that run at the local level. I don’t very often,” said Brad Keselowski, the defending Sprint Cup champion. “I don’t know what happened to Jason, and maybe it was completely unrelated, and I don’t want that to be confused, but still, the safety standards at local short tracks – they’re out of control. They’re dismal.” Sprint car races can be more dangerous for drivers and spectators because many facilities lack the SAFER barriers that are standard in NASCAR and IndyCar, and the cars aren’t always adequately protected. Bridgeport Speedway does not have SAFER Barriers, energy-absorbing walls cost about $500 a foot for installation. Most local short tracks cannot afford them. – Wire report

It was his first outing since throwing eight innings of splendid relief in a hardluck loss to Miami on Saturday, when the Mets were beaten 2-1 in 20 innings. Daniel Murphy hit
two RBI singles and David Wright had three hits for the second consecutive game, but his baserunning blunder stopped a Mets rally in the seventh. New York has lost nine of 11 since a five-game winning streak. Coming off a 14-inning victory Thursday at home over Cincinnati, the Cubs won their second in a row after dropping eight of 10. Rizzo’s bloop single started a four-run second. Dioner Navarro also singled and a walk to Luis Valbuena loaded the bases with none out.

It had the potential to be dangerous for the athletes.” In the spring of 2012, the district began talks to replace the bleachers. The seating, along
with the court itself, came with the gym that was built in 1954. However, during the summer it was discussed that it may be a logical idea to replace both the floor and bleachers at once. “The project was very much needed, as it was the original floor,” said Indian Creek School District 425 Superintendent Pamela Rockwood, who also noted that the bid for the work was at $265,674. “The gymnasium, when you look at it as a whole, will be much different when finished, but very cool.”

ASTROS 2, WHITE SOX 1
Bedard helps Astros to win over White Sox By KRISTIE RIEKEN The Associated Press HOUSTON – Erik Bedard pitched six solid innings, and Jose Altuve hit a go-ahead RBI single to give the Houston Astros a 2-1 win over the White Sox on Friday night. Bedard (2-3) yielded three hits and one run with six strikeouts to bounce back from his previous outing when he allowed six runs in 4 2-3 innings. Alexei Ramirez committed two errors in the fifth inning to help the Astros take the lead. The miscues ruined a great outing by Chris Sale (5-5), who allowed five hits and no earned
runs with a season-high 14 strikeouts in eight innings. Sale had retired 11 of 12 before Ronny Cedeno reached with no outs in the fifth on the first error by Ramirez. Cedeno advanced to second on a wild pitch by Sale with two outs before Trevor Crowe drew a walk. The second error by Ramirez came when he badly overthrew second base on a force play, which allowed Brandon Barnes to reach, Crowe to move to third and Cedeno to score. Houston took a 2-1 lead when Altuve singled on a sharp grounder which scored Crowe. Jose Cisnero and Travis
Blackley combined to pitch two scoreless innings before Jose Veras threw a scoreless ninth for his 12th save. Sale was pitching on extra rest after he was scheduled to start the Sox’s game against Toronto on Wednesday, which was postponed due to bad weather. He took a third straight loss despite coming just one strikeout shy of his career best of 15. The Sox, who entered the game having won three of four, continued to struggle on the road and have dropped 10 of 11 away from Chicago. They have been outscored 62-34 in that span.

The official that made the call? Sarah Thomas, who is on her way toward becoming the first permanent female official in the NFL. It could happen as early as the 2014 season. Thomas spent three days at the Colts minicamp as part of the NFL’s officiating development program, and league officials say she would be the first woman to reach NFL fields through the program. She’s expected to join the Colts in training camp next month and could call some preseason games this year. Once completing the development program, Thomas could get a shot at the regular season if a spot becomes available. That wouldn’t happen until a current official retires or leaves the league.

Cubs center fielder David DeJesus attempts to catch a ball hit by New York Mets’ Juan Lagares, in the third inning of a baseball game on Friday in New York. one-out single to left. Carlos Marmol worked a perfect eighth and Kevin Gregg got three quick outs for his eighth straight save to begin the season. With two outs in the first inning, Schierholtz homered into the front row of the second deck in right field, where an excited fan caught the ball on the fly. Schierholtz has gone deep in four of his last eight starts and matched his career high of nine home runs with San Francisco in 2011. He was moved up to third in the lineup, with Rizzo dropped to the No. 5 spot. “I’m just kind of mixing it up. Right now you could say he’s our best hitter,” Sveum said about Schierholtz, who has a seven-game hitting streak.

and hopefully come back and pitch again,” manager Terry Collins said. “His flexibility is good. He feels great about it. ... He’s very, very happy with where he’s at.” ...

Superintendent: We’ve done a very good job with our money • MAKEOVER Continued from page B1 “We started talking about getting new bleachers in April of 2012 and received a grant from the Illinois State Board of Education this past August 1st. We’ve done a very good job with money and were able to use funds out of the school’s maintenance operating fund to cover the rest.” Mertz says he hopes to post the progress of the work via pictures on the Indian Creek T-Wolves Facebook page. He said that the tearing down part of the project went pretty smoothly, but the workers back in 1954 built the floor to last. “We started the project the day after graduation, on May 20,” Mertz said. “The old bleachers were removed first, then the floor. ... We had to bring in a Bobcat with forks to get some of the 2x4 sleeper boards out of the old cement

It took about two-and-ahalf weeks to complete the removal process.” The T-wolves are to begin practices Aug. 14. Mertz says there are many factors that will determine the exact completion date, but a big one will be humidity. The cement
will need to be completely set before the new floor can be brought in and installed. He also said that the new floor will have less paint on it to show off the wood grain. The bleachers will be black, with “ICHS” in red across them and, although the gym
will lose around 100 seats due to the upgrade, it will feature much-needed railings in each section to help fans reach their seats safer. “(The floor) is going to look really good and it should have a little bit of a spring to it,” Mertz said. “The bleachers are state of the art and I think will be more comfortable for the fans.” One person that will use the new floor this winter, but may not need the extra boost, will be 6-foot-9 Garrison Govig, senior center for the boys basketball team. Govig said he never really gave the floor’s condition much thought other than the occasional creaky sounds, but is excited to see the finished product. “I never really noticed anything, just a few squeaks here and there,” Govig said. “It’s always nice to get new things, although the new floor won’t help us win games. It will be neat to finally see it finished and then get to play on it.”

Continued from page B1 After a visit from pitching coach Dan Warthen, Marcum gave up an RBI single to Darwin Barney before Jackson struck out. DeJesus then hit a drive beyond the reach of rookie center fielder Juan Lagares that banged off the right-center fence for a three-run triple, giving the Cubs a 5-0 cushion. One inning later, Lagares led off with a triple to nearly the same spot and DeJesus – running almost full speed – crashed hard into the wall while trying to make the catch. He extended his right arm but the ball ticked off the end of his glove, and DeJesus’ prone right shoulder slammed into the padded wall. His glove was knocked off his hand, and DeJesus immediately went down, writhing in pain on the warning track as he reached for his shoulder. After Lagares pulled into third, every Cubs fielder went out to the warning track to aid DeJesus along with manager Dale Sveum, a trainer and a worker in an EMS top. But in an encouraging sign, DeJesus got up and walked off the field under his own power, his right arm hanging limp along his side. Ryan Sweeney took over in center field, and the Cubs said DeJesus was having X-rays on his right shoulder. DeJesus, who grew up nearby in New Jersey and went to Rutgers, had family in the stands, a team spokesman said. Lagares scored on Murphy’s two-out single, but Valbuena chased Marcum with a two-out RBI double in the sixth that made it 6-1. New York got run-scoring singles in the seventh from Murphy and Lucas Duda off James Russell, but Wright was cut down at third by Alfonso Soriano’s throw when he tried to go first to third on Duda’s

Hawks quick hits
GAME 2: BOSTON @ BLACKHAWKS, 7 P.M., NBCSN, AM-720
Stanley Cup
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING
Gameday Us: Who scored? Hawks: Who cares? VIEWS Tom Musick CHICAGO – In the Stanley Cup Final, nothing matters more than scoring more goals than the other team. As for which players score those goals, nothing matters less to the Blackhawks. Skeptical? So was I, until so many Hawks echoed the we-don’t-care message so many times that I couldn’t help but believe that they were being sincere. “I don’t really care who scores,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said Friday as he fielded questions about some players who were scoring and others who were not. “As long as we get some production across the board.” It turns out that none of the Hawks care as long as the job gets done. Leave it to the rest of us to keep track of individual goals as the Hawks look to double their series lead Saturday in Game 2 against the Boston Bruins. Bryan Bickell and Patrick Sharp are at the top of the list with eight playoff goals apiece. Marian Hossa is next with seven, then Patrick Kane with six, then Andrew Shaw with five. To the Hawks, we might as well be comparing hits or blocked shots. “I don’t think it matters – goals,” said Hawks forward Dave Bolland, who scored his first goal of the playoffs Wednesday en route to an unforgettable triple-overtime win. “I think it’s a matter of heart and the way you play. “Goals are always big, points are always big, but if you’re playing your heart out every night and you’re playing your game, the goals will come.” What if they don’t? “Goals are goals,” Bolland said with a shrug. “I think when you’re
“I don’t know if it is an art. We’re just throwing pucks at the net. You need guys going to the net and trying to get traffic. It’s more of trying to keep it simple than being art.” – Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith on the art of shooting pucks “It was a great start [to Game 1]. I think we’re looking for the same kind of start in the second game. We want to put the pressure on them, hit them hard. … Play smart, don’t do anything stupid. But if we have the chance, we want to finish our checks.” – Blackhawks forward Michael Frolik on expectations for Game 2 “We’ll have to make a decision on him [Saturday]. It was encouraging to see him out there [Friday]. If he feels good [Saturday], he’s in the lineup, simple as that.” – Bruins coach Claude Julien on injured forward Nathan Horton
STAR GAZING Here’s a look at the top contenders to earn the No. 1 star of Game 2:

The Blackhawks celebrate after their goal during overtime in Game 1 of the 2013 Stanley Cup Final against Boston on Wednesday at the United Center. The Hawks won, 4-3. keeping that puck out of the back of your net, that’s the main thing.” That’s a theme with the Hawks. Defense matters. Discipline is key. Depth can make the difference. None of those factors lead the box score – goals do – but all play an enormous role. Michal Handzus knows this as well as anyone. The 36-year-old forward has played in 950 career regular-season games, not to mention 92 career playoff games. “In the playoffs, usually if you look at the teams that get to the finals or win the Cup, it’s not all of the time the
top players,” Handzus said. “Usually, those matches, you play top guys against top guys, and they can kind of nullify each other pretty good. “And then you need those role players to get through and win it for your team.” Shaw did so in Game 1 against the Bruins to attain celebrity status. Bolland scored, too. So did Brandon Saad. Other heroes have included second-tier players such as Michael Frolik, Marcus Kruger and Johnny Oduya. But even those guys don’t care about scoring goals.
Really. “You can see it on the bench,” Frolik said. “If somebody scores, we’re all pumped up, and we’re all cheering for each other. “For sure, it feels nice when you score and you can help the team. You feel proud of it. But it doesn’t really matter who scores. It’s just about having one more goal than the opponent.”

Blackhawks: Jonathan Toews Fresh off winning the Frank J. Selke Trophy as the NHL’s best defensive forward, Toews could be in store for another award-winning performance in Game 2. Although Toews has scored only one goal in the postseason, he has eight assists to go along with 16 takeaways, which is second in the NHL. Bruins: Tyler Seguin The Bruins’ 21-year-old center has immense talent, which was implied by his status as the No. 2 overall pick of the 2010 NHL draft. Seguin led the Bruins with eight shots on goal in Game 1, and while he had to settle for no goals and one assist, a similar effort in Game 2 could yield better results.

HAWKS NOTES
Blackhawks’ Toews wins his first Selke Trophy By TOM MUSICK tmusick@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Jonathan Toews might need a bigger trophy case. Toews, who already owns a Stanley Cup ring, a Conn Smythe Trophy and an Olympic gold medal, learned Friday that he won his first Frank J. Selke Trophy as the NHL’s best defensive forward. The other finalists for the award were Patrice Bergeron of the Boston Bruins and Pavel Datsyuk of the Detroit Red Wings. Toews, 25, has established himself as a two-way forward during six NHL seasons. This season was one of his best as he shared the league lead with 56 takeaways, led the Western Conference with a 59.9 percent faceoff percentage, ranked third in the league with a plus-28 rating and finished second on the Hawks with 48 points (23 G, 25 A). Previous Hawks players to win the award include Troy Murray (1986) and Dirk Graham (1991). Toews nearly joined that group two years ago but finished second in the voting to Vancouver Canucks forward Ryan Kesler
“You can tell in the building from the national anthem throughout the game, there’s something special going on here. I’m just happy to be a part of it. I was very fortunate to come in here at a great time, when the team was taking off.” – Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville on the buzz in Chicago

Blackhawks right wing Marian Hossa (left) and center Jonathan Toews wait along the boards during practice Tuesday in Chicago. at the end of the 2010-11 season. During the playoffs, Toews ranks second in the league with 16 takeaways to go along with one goal and eight assists. He also has a plus-4 rating while averaging nearly 21 minutes of ice time per game. No such luck: Despite leading the Hawks to a record-setting season, Joel Quenneville finished as the runner-up for the Jack Adams Award as the league’s top coach. Ottawa Senators coach Paul
MacLean won the award for guiding his team to the playoffs despite a glut of injuries. MacLean finished with 28 first-place votes and 206 points overall, while Quenneville was second with 22 first-place votes and 160 points overall. Quenneville led the Hawks to an NHL-best 36-7-5 record during the regular season. He won the Jack Adams Award in 1999-2000 as the coach of the St. Louis Blues. Orval Tessier remains the only coach to win the award with the
Hawks. He led the team to a 47-23-10 record during the 1982-83 season. No such luck, part II: Hawks forward Patrick Kane finished as the runner-up for the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy, which is given to the player judged to have the best combination of skill and sportsmanship. Tampa Bay Lightning forward Martin St. Louis won the award for the third time in the past four seasons. He received 47 first-place votes and 824 points overall, while Kane received 44 first-place votes and 785 points overall. Stan Mikita, who won the Lady Byng in 1967 and 1968, is the last Hawks player to win the award. Bobby Hull won the award with the Hawks in 1965. Hawks bits: Several more awards will be announced Saturday, including the Hart Memorial Trophy for most valuable player and the Calder Memorial Trophy for rookie of the year. Hawks forward Brandon Saad is a candidate to win the Calder along with Brendan Gallagher of the Montreal Canadiens and Jonathan Huberdeau of the Florida Panthers.

THREE STATS TO KNOW 40: Blocked shots by the Bruins in Game 1, compared with 23 blocked shots by the Hawks. Expect the Bruins to continue to try to block and deflect shots in front of standout goaltender Tuukka Rask, who stopped 59 of the 63 shots that were not blocked by teammates in front of him. 61: Hits by the Hawks in Game 1, compared with 59 hits by the Bruins. Although the Hawks’ best asset is speed and skill, they proved that they are willing to engage in a physical game when necessary. Brandon Bollig, Andrew Shaw and Bryan Bickell shared the team lead with nine hits apiece. 18: Giveaways by the Hawks in Game 1, compared with five giveaways by the Bruins. All of the Hawks will need to be more careful with the puck in the second game of the series, but especially defenseman Brent Seabrook, who led the team with three giveaways in the opener. – Tom Musick
BOSTON BRUINS
Horton practices ahead of Game 2 By JAY COHEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Milan Lucic remembers it as if it was yesterday. Boston got Nathan Horton in a trade with Florida three years ago, and Bruins coach Claude Julien decided to put the forward on a line with David Krejci and Lucic. “It kind of just clicked right away,” Lucic said. Yeah, no kidding. The high-scoring line combined for Boston’s first two goals in a 4-3 triple-overtime loss to the Blackhawks in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals Wednesday night. It was the continuation of a terrific postseason for the three veterans, who also helped the Bruins win the title two years ago.
Horton, who was sidelined for the last part of the 2011 postseason by a concussion, left the series opener against the Hawks with an unspecified upper body injury, but he practiced Friday and appears to be on track to play in Game 2 tonight. “We’ll have to make a decision on him tomorrow,” Julien said. “It was encouraging to see him out there today. If he feels good tomorrow, he’s in the lineup, simple as that.” If Horton is unable to play, Tyler Seguin likely would move up to the top line. He filled in for Horton after he left Game 1, and had a handful of prime chances to lift Boston to the victory. Whether it’s Horton or Seguin playing with Krejci and Lucic, the Hawks know they have to do a better
job of defending that line. “I think that’s a line that has most of the offensive abilities that the good line should have,” Hawks defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson said. “They got a big body with Lucic and Horton is a pretty big guy, too, and Krejci’s a good playmaker and good shot, too. So they’re obviously one of the best lines in the league, if not the best. “It’s going to be a fun challenge to play against them again tomorrow and see how it goes.” Hjalmarsson was wrestling with Horton in front of the Hawks’ net during a Boston power play in the first overtime when the wing skated off with the injury. It appeared to be a serious problem at the time, since Horton decided at that pivotal moment that he was unable to continue.

The New Dads Diaper duty’s just the start for today’s generation of fathers By BETH J. HARPAZ The Associated Press
L
aura Radocaj of Vero Beach, Fla., was warned when she was pregnant with twins that motherhood would be harder than she imagined – especially because she planned to go back to work while the twins were still babies. “But this has been the easiest transition,” said Radocaj, 28, who works from home in corporate communications. So what’s her secret? Her husband, Marco, also 28, puts in just as much time with child care and housework as she does, even though he works full-time for an air-conditioning company. “If your partner is splitting things 50-50, it’s easy,” said Laura. “Before, when everyone made motherhood seem like such a big deal, men weren’t chipping in as much.” Something is changing with today’s young fathers. By their own accounts, by their wives’ testimony, and according to time-use studies and other statistics, more men are doing more around the house, from packing school lunches and doing laundry to getting up in the middle of the night with a screaming infant. “If it’s not my job, then it’s her job, and that wouldn’t be fair,” said Marco. But it’s not just about sharing chores. For dads in their 20s and 30s, being an involved father is part of their identity. They blog about changing diapers, they chat nonchalantly with colleagues about breastfeeding, and they trade recipes for baby food while working out with guys at the gym. Creed Anthony, 37, a teacher and father of two in Indianapolis, recalled standing in a hallway at work “talking about breastfeeding with three women. It was natural. They didn’t bat an eye.” Another conversation with colleagues, male and female, involved “poopy diapers, puke and eating cycles,” he said. “And there are a number of guys at school who talk to each other about these things, whether it’s ‘my son’s getting up at two in the
morning, he’s got this diaper rash, what did you do?’ or running a vacuum cleaner to help a colicky baby. It’s funny, but it’s perfect.” His wife, Amal Anthony, 35, who works at a law firm, says Creed not only handles diapers and sick kids, but also does most of the shopping and laundry. But please don’t call her husband Mr. Mom. “The Mr. Mom thing gets thrown around a lot and a lot of us don’t like that,” said Anthony, who writes a blog called “Tales from the Poop Deck” and also contributes to the “Life of Dad” social networking site. “It’s normal to us to be a dad. This is what we’re supposed to do.” He said he’d like to see more focus on all the “really good dads out there ... rather than being portrayed as some doofus that only sits on the couch and watches sports.” Part of why dads are doing more around the house may be that women are doing more in the workplace. A study from the Pew Research Center this month found that mothers are the breadwinners in a record 40 percent of families. At the same time, the number of stay-at-home dads is twice what it was 10 years ago – though still a relatively small number at 176,000. And in two-thirds of married couples with children under 18, both parents work, according to the U.S. Census. As working moms increasingly become the norm, and as their financial contributions become more critical, they’re doing less cleaning and cooking. A Pew study released in March shows that since 1965, fathers have increased the amount of time they spend on household chores from four hours to 10 hours a week. Women still do more, but as dad’s share goes up, mom’s goes down: In the same time period, mothers reduced their housework from 32 hours a week to 18. Dads have also tripled the amount of time they spend with children since 1965, even though moms still put in about six more hours a week with kids than dads overall, according to the Pew study. “There’s no question that guys are doing more, twice to three times as much, in fact – for couples working two full-time jobs and caring for children 6 and under – than in the 1970s,” said Arlie Hochschild, whose ground-
breaking book “The Second Shift,” documented how an earlier generation of women did the lion’s share of child care and housework even if they had jobs outside the home. Jay Fagan, a sociology professor at Temple University in Philadelphia and founding editor of the academic journal Fathering, says the inverse relationship between hours worked outside and inside the home makes sense: “When the mother is working full-time, it is impossible for her to do everything.” But there’s another aspect too, he notes: “The more you earn, the more it buys you out of some of the mundane responsibilities.” For their part, the new dads say they want things divided equally. Fatherhood, says Jeremy Foster, 37, of Kansas City, Mo., has gone from a “provide, protect scenario, to a team effort, especially nowadays with couples raising children where both work full-time.” At one point, when his 1-year-old Sophia wasn’t sleeping well, Foster even moved into the nursery so that his wife, a social worker, could get enough sleep. “I’d rock Sophia and get her back to sleep so my wife wasn’t doing all the work,” said Foster, a creative director and designer for an online platform called CD2 Learning. Foster and his wife also have his-and-her diaper bags – hers with a floral pattern, his a gray-and-orange messenger bag from DiaperDude.com. The company was founded 10 years ago by Chris Pegula of Santa Monica, Calif., a father of three who was put off by his wife’s taste in diaper bags. “They were so feminine, there was no way in hell I was going to carry one of them,” said Pegula, now 41. “They had colorful stripes and flowers and leopard prints. They were basically purses. I went to look for a bag for myself but there wasn’t anything on the market in a dad category.” Diaper Dude now sells dozens of styles designed to appeal to men, from camouflage prints to bags with baseball team logos. Other signs that hands-on dads are now mainstream range from changing tables in men’s restrooms to unisex baby showers to paternity leave in the workplace. Or, as
a new survey from Men’s Health magazine and BabyCenter.com summed it up, “Dad is the New Mom.” But the outside world has not completely accepted the notion of dads as equal partners. Randi Wall, 25, of Northfield, N.J., says she still gets “a lot of negative comments” from “elders” about her fiance, Douglas White Jr., 24, who works as a mechanic and also helps around the house and with their two kids. Wall, who works from home in advertising and marketing, tunes the naysayers out, saying, “I’m extremely proud of the man and the father that he is. Sharing our responsibilities makes our relationship, and our family, function much more smoothly.” White, for his part, says his “choice to help out and take part in our children’s lives does not diminish Randi’s ability to be a wonderful mother and significant other.” Fagan, the Temple professor, says “there’s no question that young fathers are far more involved,” not just in how much time they spend with kids, but also in “their sense of who they are as individuals – their personal identities.” But he noted that the trend of sharing child care and housework is “largely happening among college-educated couples.” Families where parents lack college degrees and are struggling with unemployment are “more likely to be raising their children as single parents,” he said. “It’s a real concern.” Even in two-parent families, how much dads do around the house depends on “how much the mother is working and how much she is earning,” Fagan added. An ongoing study of how Americans use their time shows that the more mothers earn, the more fathers do at home. “Father’s involvement goes down if she’s not working full-time and if her earnings are much less than his,” he said. Fagan added that there also is a downside to a world where dads and moms not only both work full-time, but share all the chores, too. “Now everybody’s exhausted,” he said. “The issues of work-family balance did not go away.”

FAMILY TIME | Remember to include pets in disaster plan
Tip of the week The Humane Society of the United States urges residents to prepare by taking some simple – but critical – steps to keep their pets safe during severe weather. While the path and impact of the storms are not certain, pet owners should have an emergency plan that includes the safety of their animals. “It is crucial that residents remember that if it isn’t safe for you, it isn’t safe for your pets,” said Anne Sterling, Midwestern regional director for the HSUS. “We recommend finding a safe place and keeping your pets with you. Pet owners should make sure to have
carriers ready for cats and small dogs, and leashes for larger dogs.” One of the most important things you can do to prepare for a natural disaster is make sure all pets are clearly identified with a collar and tags. That will ensure that your pet can be returned to you in the event you are separated from each other. In the event of a tornado, go with your pets to lowest point in your house, such as a basement. If you do not have a basement, go to a windowless room or get in a bathtub under a mattress. Avoid staying inside a mobile home or vehicle where it is unsafe – instead seek shelter in a building with a basement. Dogs who are tethered as a means of confinement or other animals left outside may choke to death on tangled leads or suffer other serious injuries. Pets should be brought inside and kept close in the event of hail or high winds. It’s also important to provide for your pets in the event you lose electricity,
making certain they also have adequate food and water. Horses should also have halters with proper identification. There may be times when taking your horses with you is impossible during an emergency. Consider your personal situation in deciding whether your horses would be better off in a barn or loose in a field. For more tips on preparedness plans that include your pets, visit humanesociety.org/prepare.

What can you do with all that yard waste? HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?
By RON PEABODY DeKalb County Master Gardener Mountains of leaves in the fall! Bag after bag of grass clippings! Old, used potting soil. What to do with all that yard waste? It’s a problem. Or is it? Consider turning all those piles of yard waste into nutrient-rich compost right in your back yard. Composting is the natural biological process of breaking down organic material into a humus-like substance we call compost. Micro-organisms, primarily bacteria and fungi, do most of the work in the decomposition process, but there are other organisms that help as well. When incorporated into the soil, compost dramatically improves the health and productivity of the soil. It’s nature’s way of recycling plant material. Your backyard composting operation can be as simple as establishing a compost pile in a back corner of your lot. Or depending on your budget and energy level, you may choose to invest in a more permanent compost structure such as compost bins constructed of weather-resistant material. Or there are many types of barrel-turning compost systems on the market. The choices are almost endless. The important point is composting just makes good gardening sense. It’s environmentally sound. It saves a lot of time and hassle in dealing with yard waste. And the end product, compost, dramatically improves the health of your garden soil when incorporated as a soil amendment. What should you put in your compost pile? Research
at the University of Illinois and other research institutions demonstrate that a combination of materials, some high in carbon (generally brown) and some higher in nitrogen (generally green), enhances the bio-degradation process. Some typical yard waste materials to consider for your compost pile include: grass clippings, garden waste (probably best to avoid weeds with seed heads), leaves, fruit and vegetable scraps, crushed egg shells, used potting soil, and many other organic materials. Experienced composters often incorporate layers of garden soil or previously composted compost into the compost pile to accelerate the bio-degradation process. Livestock manure also works well as an accelerant. Some of the materials to avoid in your compost pile include: meat, cooked food, cat litter, pet and human excrement, dairy products, charcoal, wood ashes, fish scraps, peanut butter, bones and tree limbs. Another tip to speed up the composting process is to keep the pile aerated by occasionally turning the material with a garden fork. Some innovative composters have devised other methods to enhance aeration such as installing perforated plastic drain tile in the compost pile. The important thing to remember is all organic matter eventually decomposes. Your backyard composting project simply speeds up the process. So why not jump into the backyard composting game

Blacksmithing taught at Glidden Homestead “Blacksmiths Wanted” is not a common ad seen today, but that is just who the Joseph F. Glidden Homestead & Historical Center in DeKalb is looking for, including aspiring blacksmiths. A blacksmith club has been formed at the national historic site where Joseph Glidden invented his popular style of barbed wire “The Winner” in 1873. The club provides living history demonstrations in the Phineas Vaughan Blacksmith Shop from May through November, at the Homestead, 921 W. Lincoln Highway, DeKalb. Both experienced blacksmiths and those interested in learning the trade are welcome to become involved in this educational and rewarding endeavor. The blacksmith shop once was as common as the gas station is today. The blacksmith shoed horses, fixed wagons and made anything out of iron that a household required. Today, few people recognize an anvil or know what it is used for. The Glidden Homestead is recreating that history and teaching the importance of the old-time trade to new generations. The Glidden Blacksmith Club meets twice a month to hone skills and learn new techniques from experienced members. Club
members provide demonstrations to the public during the Homestead’s regular tour season, make hand-crafted merchandise for the gift shop, and craft tools and other items to be used at the Homestead. Over the past winter the club crafted the 11-by-8-foot handforged iron sign frame recently installed at the entrance to the site. Anyone who would like to learn more is invited to attend a club meeting. For details, contact info@gliddenhomestead.org or call 815-756-7904. Blacksmith demonstrations, as well as tours of the Homestead, are open to the public on the second and fourth Sundays of the month June through October and at special events in May and November. This season’s programming commemorates Joseph Glidden’s diverse contributions to the greater DeKalb community, with railroad programming on June 23, July 14 and July 28; a letterpress printing demonstration on Aug. 11; and special blacksmithing programming in October, including Blacksmithing for Kids on Oct. 13, in conjunction with the DeKalb Public Library’s Community Big Read of “True Grit.” To learn more, visit www.gliddenhomestead.org.

DCCF grant brings international music to county students The College of Visual and Performing Arts at Northern Illinois University received a $2,500 grant from the DeKalb County Community Foundation to help bring the Arts Midwest World Fest to DeKalb County during the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 school years. Working with the superintendents and other representatives of school districts in DeKalb, Sycamore and Sandwich, college dean Rich Holly said he is excited about Arts Midwest World Fest coming to the county. “Arts Midwest World Fest will bring four internationally touring music acts to DeKalb County, one per semester, over the next two school years,” he said in a news release. “Each of the four partners – NIU, DeKalb schools, Sycamore schools and Sandwich schools – will have each group in residence for one full day, teaching the students
about the music of the country from which they hail.” Holly noted that this is a unique opportunity not only due to the great exposure the students will have to these artists and their music, but also to learn about the customs and culture of other lands. In addition to spending several days working with school children and NIU students, each group will perform a public concert at the end of their one-week residency. The first group to appear as part of Arts Midwest World Fest will be Bandolino, from Israel, in September. In January, La Vent du Nord, from Quebec, will be in residence. The groups for the following school year will be from China and Brazil. As more specific details become known about each group’s appearance and their public concert, promotional notices and materials will be sent to area news outlets.

KEYS recognizes Asset Champions Walsh earns Eagle A teacher, a Boy Scout, a mayor, volunteers and a theater program were among those honored at the DeKalb County KEYS Initiative’s fourth annual Asset Champions Awards. The awards were created to recognize local people and organizations making extraordinary efforts to create positive connections and build developmental assets in young people. This year’s honorees include Andi Andree, a special education teacher at Sycamore High School, who was recognized by a former student for genuinely listening to student ideas and offering help and encouragement; Kris Povlsen, the former coordinator of DCP/SAFE, former DeKalb alderman and recent DeKalb mayor, who has spent his career advocating on behalf of youth; Greg and Sherri Howells, the Sycamore couple who started the mobile food-packing project Make a Difference 2K10.

students who cannot afford instrument rental; and the Penguin Project, an inclusive musical theater program that allows young people – both with and without special needs – to participate in the performing arts. This project demonstrates that people with disabilities are fully capable of participating in community activities with the same dedication and enthusiasm as others, if given opportunities and support. The five recipients were
selected from a field of nine nominees. All nominees received a certificate of recognition. Building a foundation of assets for all children and teenagers may be the most critical challenge and opportunity facing our society. Building this foundation begins as adults choose to treat young people differently and put their well-being above all else. Getting personally involved in asset building and encouraging others to do the same is one of the most im-
portant commitments any person can make for the future of young people and society.
Mike Walsh, a junior at Genoa-Kingston High School, recently achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest rank in scouting. Mike is the son of Mike and Naomi Walsh of Genoa.

8ASTROGRAPH By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association
TODAY – Certain situations beyond your control could establish several major new objectives for you. These new influences will treat you kindly both personally and work-wise. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Try to focus your efforts and energy on ways to increase your earnings. Your financial trends look to be especially favorable. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You will be even more adept than usual at expressing yourself both verbally and with the written word. Try to capitalize on this fortunate cycle. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Be doubly alert for multiple opportunities to make or save money. A beneficial cycle is developing, and will produce some windfalls that could be substantial. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Maintain as much direct control over your own affairs as possible. You will do things far more effectively than will your subordinates. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – The old saying: “We get to heaven leaning on the arms of people we help,” will apply today. Any kindness you show to others will be repaid in far greater measure. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – As long as you maintain a positive attitude, success is likely in all of your important endeavors. Envision the results you desire, and take practical measures to bring them about. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Even if your companions deem your plans overblown, don’t be afraid to think on a large scale. They’re viewing the scenario from the wrong perspective. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – If you’re required to make a decision that involves an associate, take into account your personal opinion of this individual. Certain human factors can be very important. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Beneficial changes could be in the works for your job or day-to-day activities. However, you’ll have to be observant in order to anticipate their direction. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Something very advantageous could develop through a social contact. This person could turn out to be an enormously valuable ally. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – You might begin to appreciate something that you initially thought to be nothing but trouble. From this day forward, you’ll see it in a totally different light. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You could be extremely lucky in an area of great importance, one in which you’ve rarely experienced good fortune in the past. Take advantage of this break.

Mother does not want daughter to move out Dear Abby: I am 25, and my boyfriend and I have been together since high school. We have now decided to take our relationship to the next level by living together. When I brought up the idea to my mother a few months ago, she was against it. She said if I do this it will change my relationship with her. My boyfriend and I are college graduates, have good jobs and are self-supporting. If things work out between us, we will most likely be getting married next year. I am an only child and I don’t want to hurt my mother or have our relationship change, but I want to be able to live my own life. I would like her support, but don’t know how to tell her what we have decided or if it would be worth breaking the special bond between my mother and me. – Only Child in California Dear Only Child: Stop beating around the bush and tell your mother what your plans are. At 25, you are old enough – and this relationship has gone on long enough – that moving in together is a natural progression toward a permanent commitment. Her resistance is based on fear of what your independence from her will mean – to her. However, if you truly can’t decide whether cutting the umbilical cord is worth it,
DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips then keep things as they are – and remain her little girl forever. Dear Abby: I am a teenager who has liked this guy for a long time. We’ve been best friends forever, and I have liked him for two years. Recently he asked me out, and I was ecstatic – at first. I still like him, but every time I think about him or I’m around him, or anything about him comes up, I get this horrible nausea. I have actually vomited because of it. How can I like him but he makes me feel ill? Is there a way to remedy this? – Lovesick in Phoenix Dear Lovesick: Severe anxiety can cause someone to have the symptoms you have described. It’s not unlike the feeling one has when riding a roller coaster. You appear to be suffering from an extreme case of young love, and there is no medication that can cure it. Try to remain calm, and your symptoms should subside over time. Dear Abby: Your column often provides helpful tips to your readers. May I suggest that you remind those who are, or know someone who
is, college-bound never to hesitate to apply for as many scholarships as possible – regardless of how small. My local conservation association has been giving scholarships for 11 years. Some years we get no applicants! The amounts are $500 and $1,000. This money could pay for books, lab fees or go toward tuition, but we get few applicants. Many fraternal organizations also give out numerous small scholarships. These all add up and can help to reduce the college debt burden we hear so much about. It’s never too soon to start. There are middle school and high school contests, too. NOW is the time for students to start their college funds with all the prizes and scholarships they can accumulate. – Helping The Next Generation Dear Helping: I’m sure many families will thank you for this reminder. Readers, many small scholarships are available – and the thing to do is talk to your school counselor and research online or at your local library. Indeed, it’s never too soon to start looking. Dear Abby: I am writing you not because of a problem, but because of two special people in my life. I have two daughters, both in their 20s. They are well-educated and happy. I adore
them. My wife and I consider ourselves lucky to be their parents. We never pushed them toward goals or to succeed, but they are self-motivated and confident. I have come to the conclusion that some of us are quite blessed. I’d like you to know that at least two parents in this world realize that we are, and that we count our blessings. I am older now, and my relationship with my daughters continues to mature and grow. Older age has its joys, too – some far deeper than I had ever imagined. – An Appreciative Father in Oregon
Dear Appreciative Father: Thank you for writing an “upper” of a letter. Your daughters didn’t turn out so well by magic, and congratulations to you and your wife for what was obviously successful parenting. I would like to wish you a very happy Father’s Day and offer the same to fathers everywhere – birth fathers, stepfathers, adoptive fathers, foster fathers, and those caring men who mentor children and fill the role of absent fathers. Dear Abby: My son is married to a wonderful young woman, “Dana,” and they have a small baby. Dana suffered a brain injury years ago that left her somewhat developmentally delayed. Until the baby was born, it wasn’t
much of an issue, but it is becoming apparent that Dana is not always able to parent the child appropriately. (She will leave her on a table to get a diaper, doesn’t feed her according to schedule and doesn’t dress her warmly in cold weather.) My son takes care of things when he’s home, but he works every day. When I think of my own daughter’s development, I see that Dana is operating at approximately a middle-teen level even though she’s 28. Can you advise what I can do to ensure my granddaughter is safe and secure without making my daughter-in-law feel inadequate? I don’t want to seem like a meddling M-I-L. – Loves Dana Dear Loves Dana: If Dana would leave the baby on a table while she went to get a diaper, would she also leave the baby in a tub while she went to answer a phone? If you haven’t voiced your concerns to your son, please do because your granddaughter could be seriously injured. Parenting classes might help your daughter-in-law, or involving a social worker or arranging for day care for the baby could also solve this problem.

Build up weak ankles to minimize future sprains Dear Dr. K: I tend to sprain my ankle fairly often. Are there any exercises that could help me strengthen my ankles and prevent future sprains? Dear Reader: Your ankles are remarkable joints. They must bear the full weight of your body, yet stay nimble and flexible. Every step, every jump, every move puts your ankles through a surprising range of motion. Even when you stand quietly, your ankles are constantly making minute adjustments to help you stay balanced. Your central ankle bone is called the talus. Your shin bone, the large bone in your lower leg, connects to the talus. A second, smaller bone
ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff in the lower leg ends alongside the talus. Bracketed by two bony bumps (each called a malleolus) on either side of the ankle, the talus acts as a hinge that allows you to point and flex your foot. Two other joints on the talus permit sideways movements. Two ligaments (the strong, usually inelastic, tissue that bind joints) link the inner malleolus to the ankle bones. Three more ligaments bind the outer malleolus to the talus and heel bone. Liga-
ments play an important role in ankle anatomy – and ankle sprains. Ankle sprains occur when you roll your foot inward or outward, or turn or twist an ankle. Probably the most common cause of an ankle sprain is when your foot comes down on the floor or ground, and instead of landing on the sole of the foot you land on the outer edge of the foot. The force of your weight on the outer edge puts a great strain on the ligaments of the outer part of your ankle. That stretches, or even tears, the ligaments that keep the bones and joints properly positioned. Depending on the force applied as you land, the
sprain can be mild, moderate or severe. The same injuries that cause ankle sprains can also cause ankle fractures. It can be hard even for your doctor to determine if you’ve broken a bone just by examining your ankle; an X-ray often is needed. Weak ankles not only have a tendency toward repeated sprains; they also are more easily fractured. Weak ankles often can be traced to repeated sprains that loosen the ligaments – and loose ligaments increase the risk of future ankle sprains. It’s a vicious cycle. However, loose ligaments are not the only reason ankles have a tendency to suffer
from sprains. Weakness of muscles that support the ankle also make sprains more likely. That’s where exercises come in. You’re likely to benefit from an ankle workout that incorporates strength exercises and stretches. These exercises will help you increase flexibility in your ankles and build up ankle-supporting muscles. If possible, work with a physical therapist. He or she can design an individualized program to meet your needs. In the meantime, I’ve put a few ankle-strengthening exercises on my website.
