READER

We hope you like new Daily Chronicle POLL Yesterday’s I know – this looks different from the Daily Chronicle you’re used to picking up from your driveway or local newsstand.

Clinton Rosette, the Chronicle’s first editor, hardly would have recognized it. I have a laminated copy of one of the early editions of the Daily Chronicle from 1879 hanging above my desk in my office, a gift from former columnist Barry Schrader.

The front page from May 27, 1879, is mostly ads, for a tailor advertising “nobby spring styles in hats,” The Glidden House Hotel, a farm equipment dealer and others. The stories are about the goings-on in Congress in Washington D.C., and, of course, there are no pictures.

We’ve come a long way, indeed. If Rosette could see today’s edition of the Daily Chroni-

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Eric Olson cle, I like to think he’d be pleased.

More importantly, I hope all of you like it. If you do, or if you think there are things we can do better, we want to hear from you, and we’ve set up a new email account to gather your opinions: newlook@daily-chronicle.com.

Thanks, and enjoy the new Daily Chronicle.

WHAT’S HAPPENING TODAY

ST. PETER’S EPISCOPAL TURNS 137

ACTION 2020 PLAN MEETING

Parishioners at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Sycamore on Sunday celebrated the history and benevolence that brought the house of worship to the area. Members gathered after the morning worship service and paid tribute to the church building as it turned 137. It was a double celebration, as they noted the 160 years since the parish was established in Sycamore. For the full story, turn to page 8.

The Sycamore City Council and the Sycamore Park District Board have a joint meeting tonight to discuss the district’s Action 2020 plan along with future cooperative efforts such as a program to allow dog owners to obtain a dog park pass when buying an annual dog tag from the city. The meeting is at 6 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at the Sycamore Center, 308 W. State St., Sycamore.

SUSPECT TURNS SELF IN

Fresh off a blowout loss to the Clippers, the Bulls look to get back on the winning track when they tip off in Utah.

On Sunday, a suspect wanted in connection with a shooting at an off-campus party turned himself into the DeKalb police. The man was being held on $750,000 bond at the DeKalb County Jail. For the full story, turn to page 11.

LOSING STREAK SNAPS

IOWA CAUCUS

A big step toward determining the next U.S. president happens Monday at the Iowa caucus.

Will Donald Trump win the Republican race? How about Bernie Sanders in the Democratic race? Iowa offers only a small contingent of the delegates who will determine the nominees, but the game of expectations counts for far more than the electoral math in the state.

Student’s death shows need for mental health services

By RHONDA GILLESPIE

rgillespie@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Quintonio LeGrier was an amiable young man, one of his high school math teacher’s favorite students.

He was an inspiration, a determined person who motivated others to be better.

At least, that was how friends and relatives described the 19-year-old Northern Illinois University sophomore at his funeral Jan. 9.

“He left a huge imprint on my life to just keep going,” a cousin said at the public services.

But fellow students’ accounts and police records hint that the avid chess enthusiast and playground basketball player, who spent most of his childhood in foster care, might have been among the growing population of people who suffer from mental illness.

We also will explore the challenges that people with mental illness pose to themselves and those around them.

Quintonio LeGrier

Mental illness is a condition that experts say could impact onefourth of college students, and about the same for U.S. adults in general. And use of “mental illness” also can be an umbrella term, said Dr. Karyn

Erkfritz.

“There’s a lot different ways to define [mental illness],” said Erkfritz, a licensed clinical psychologist with KishHealth System, which is now part of Northwestern Medicine. “It’s probably used more as a catch-all.”

More pointedly, sources such as the National Alliance on Mental Illness said that one in five adults have such mental conditions as depression and anxiety disorder. And one in 25 have more serious illnesses, such as schizophrenia and

bipolar disorder.

LeGrier at times became detached from reality after he left his native Chicago and took up residence in an NIU dorm, family and friends said.

The day after Christmas, LeGrier was shot and killed at his father’s home by a Chicago police officer after police were called there for a domestic dispute.

Police reported that they were met with a “combative” LeGrier on that fateful day. His father, Antonio, said his son was swinging a bat at him and screaming, “I’m not scared of you.”

At NIU, his friends with Black Male Initiative, a campus male mentoring organization, knew LeGrier as “Q.” They say they knew he was having problems that were affecting his behavior, and were working with him.

“I did know that he did have a

businesses failed compliance check

By RHONDA GILLESPIE rgillespie@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Proponents of bringing gaming to Shabbona, such as what the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation has proposed, say it would be be an economic catapult for the tiny town and the county. Opponents doubt that.

Shabbona Village President Claudia Hicks is convinced it would. She said the Class II gaming project may not come in her lifetime. Nevertheless, she’s pushing for it.

“They have always been a great neighbor to Shabbona,” she said of the tribe.

The Nation applied to the federal government to have the 129 acres it owns next to Shabbona held in trust.

Then, the tribe would build 24-hour bingo halls, restaurants and lounges, a multipurpose room that could be used for such things as entertainment and meetings, and parking lots. The plans could take years to materialize.

An economic pact that the tribe, Shabbona and DeKalb County signed in 2008 gives Shabbona some upfront money and ensures the county shares in a portion of the gaming proceeds, as part of the project.

Union workers and other labor industry supporters were among the dozens of people who made comments Tuesday at a public hearing that the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs held at Kishwaukee College. The “scoping session,” as the BIA called the forum, was part of the government process of making a decision on the Nation’s land application.

“One of the things that the scoping project does, it allows us to take into consideration issues that we might not normally take into consideration,” said Scott Doig, the bureau’s acting regional environmental scientist. “We’ll be determining what the scope of the impact study is going to be.”

Lance McGill, an operating engineer, said the project not only would be good for contractors, but it also would draw attention to other nearby attractions.

“I think it will enhance use of the Shabbona Forest Preserve,” McGill, a DeKalb resident, counted among the economic benefits.

Dirk Enger, an Aurora ironworker, explained several benefits of the project, including union jobs and improved “quality of life” for residents in surrounding communities.The tribe, which operates a Las Vegas-style casino in Lawrence, Kanasas, predicts that its gaming center here would create 400 new jobs, with a $17 million annual

Claudia Hicks, the village president of Shabbona, speaks Tuesday in favor of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation’s proposed trust acquisition and gaming facility project to the Bureau of Indian Affairs during a scoping meeting at the Kishwaukee College Conference Center.

DeKALB – Police said two local gas stations failed a tobacco compliance check when they sold tobacco to minors.

DeKalb police checked local retailers Jan. 9 to make sure they were complying with minimum-age tobacco laws. In Illinois, it is illegal to sell tobacco to anyone younger than 18.

Of the 28 businesses that were checked, police said Road Ranger, 933 S. Fourth Street, DeKalb, and Mobile, 1740 E. Lincoln Highway, DeKalb, had sold tobacco to minors and were found to be in violation of the law, according to a news release. The inspection was the second of three rounds that police plan to conduct. With the help from a grant from the Illinois Liquor Control Commission’s “Kid’s Can’t Buy ‘Em Here” Tobacco Enforcement Program, the city has made a concerted effort to raise awareness about minimum-age tobacco laws, according to the news release.

But opponents balk at the reported upsides of the bingo parlors.

“I won’t deny the short-term [economic] benefits,” said John Kindt, a University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign professor. “But the long-term benefits are definite negatives.

Kindt was part of the National Gambling Study Commission that made recommendations to Congress in 1999 about gambling.

“This is an economic siphon of money out of the consumer economy and into the gambling establishment,” Kindt said. “This is basically lose-lose for the community at large.”

Concerned citizen and clergyman Craig Nelson said the benefits of gaming revenues are short-lived. He said that over time, they ravage the areas surrounding them.

“The casinos do defile a neighborhood,” said Nelson, who stated he moved to Lee from a town in Wisconsin that was one of three in proximity to a gambling venue.

Police records show several encounters with LeGrier • MENTAL HEALTH

Continued from page 3 mental illness. ... Sometimes he would act out,” said Amirius Clinton, the director of marketing for BMI. Clinton first met LeGrier during the engineering major’s freshman year.

“People started to notice,” he said.

The head of the organization said BMI stands for brotherhood and that it had embraced LeGrier, realizing his struggles.

“We understood that he had been through some things in the past, but he was getting it together,” BMI President Jacob Clayton said. “We were helping him along the way, and he was stepping into his own.”

But a bad day – or even a string of them – isn’t mental illness, experts say. Erkfritz said it’s more about chronic, ongoing behavior.

Forty-eight pages of NIU police records detail several encounters in 2015 with LeGrier, whom the student officers came to know on a first-name basis.

Police were called for complaints of his “erratic behavior,” records show.

One officer said there had been reports that LeGrier’s “mental state had deteriorated.”

Three months before he was shot by Chicago police, a similar scene played out in an NIU residence hall where several campus police officers confronted LeGrier – with their guns drawn.

According to a Sept. 2, 2015, campus police report, an officer on bike patrol rode up to a scene where LeGrier was chasing a female student near the residence hall. She was screaming as she ran from him, the report said.

He resisted arrest that night, according to the police report, resulting in additional officers being called to assist. Eventually, officers drew their weapons on LeGrier to get him to comply with their commands. LeGrier yelled, “I am God,” before he eventually was subdued and taken into custody, according to the police report.

The incident culminated with LeGrier being involuntarily committed to Kishwaukee Hospital for psychiatric treatment, officials said. His behavior that night was one in a string of “strange” occurrences on campus last year.

It was unclear if LeGrier was officially diagnosed with a mental disorder, or if he sought professional treatment or counseling before or after his involuntary psychiatric stint.

In fact, many people touched by mental illness don’t seek treatment.

Although 80 percent of students whom NAMI surveyed reported feeling overwhelmed by their responsibilities, 40 percent don’t try to get help.

Some of LeGrier’s high school bud-

Quintonio LeGrier was also a member of BMI before he was killed by Chicago Police gunfire on Dec. 26. dies, who last played basketball with him last summer, said they noticed changes in him.

“Over the summer, we noticed his demeanor changed at bit. He used to say some crazy stuff,” John Green said. “We reached out to him, but he said he was OK.”

Determining risk

Barring a diagnosis, who is at risk for being affected by mental illness?

“We’re finding across the country, across universities ... that college students are seeking services for mental health concerns at much higher rates, growing over the last five years,” said Brooke Ruxton, a licensed clinical psychologist and head of NIU’s Counseling and Consultation Services department.

“College is kind of a time where there is a lot of melding together of different concerns and stressors [that students may have]. All of that together, in different ways, may contribute to seeing more of [mental health] concerns on college campuses.”

LeGrier might have brought his troubles with him to DeKalb. But officials here know that mental health is an issue for many residents, not just students.

“Anybody can get a mental illness at any time,” said Deanna Cada, executive director of the DeKalb County Community Mental Health Board. But those at greater risk, she said, include people genetically predisposed to it, poor and low-income individuals, and those who have experienced trauma in their life.

She estimated that about 19 percent of DeKalb County residents – or about 20,000 people – have some sort of mental illness.

College students seek mental health services at higher rates • MENTAL HEALTH

MOST COMMON MENTAL ILLNESSES

Cada said the county doesn’t keep a tally of individuals with mental health issues. She said numbers her organization uses to calculate and allocate money for services come from counts taken by funded agencies. DCMHB contributes to at least eight mental health provider organizations.

• Depression • Anxiety disorders • Suicide • Eating disorders • Addiction • 1 in 5 adults suffer from such mental conditions as depression and anxiety disorder • 1 in 25 suffer from more serious illnesses, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

Getting help

Mental health services have declined nationwide, and DeKalb County is no exception.

In DeKalb County, there was public outcry when the underused inpatient mental health unit at Kishwaukee Hospital closed in 2009. And local law enforcement leaders have consistently decried not having sufficient training or resources to deal with individuals with mental illnesses, many of whom end up in jail.

The DeKalb County Community Mental Health Board, which helps fund mental health agencies here, has cut the money it gives to providers. Funding for mental health providers accounts for 85 percent of the board’s $1.9 million budget.

Members note that the demand for services and the treatment needs are “in excess of the total dollar amount available from tax levy to fund DeKalb County services,” according to the mental health board’s 2014 annual report.

• 19 percent of DeKalb County residents (about 20,000 people) have some form of mental illness.

Janet Cooksey, mother of slain NIU student Quintonio LeGrier, speaks about her son as part of a memorial Jan. 27 during a meeting of the Black Student Union at Northern Illinois University.

NIU offers mental health services to students, although using them is voluntary. NIU counseling services employs eight psychologists, two licensed counselors, one victim advocate (for sexual assault), three full-time interns and five part-time practicum students, Ruxton said. Psychiatrists are available through the university’s health services department.

“We do a lot of consulting on campus

with faculty and staff who might be concerned about someone,” Ruxton said.

The scope of the department’s services includes outreach and training throughout the campus community.

Training is provided for faculty, but also residence hall workers and student groups, she said.

Ruxton said the university offers faculty training on how to engage with students who might be having issues.

Training sessions are part of faculty development as well as orientation for new instructors.

“What we try to do is train faculty and staff to have some skills to use the connections they have to reach out to students and provide students with resources, and make sure students know what’s available to them,” she said.

The stigma associated with mental illness often keeps people from seeking professional help, Cada said. LeGrier’s situation demonstrates that such a decision can be a life or death one.

St. Peter’s church building turns 137 Parishioners celebrate 1878 dedication

By RHONDA GILLESPIE rgillespie@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – St. Peter’s Episcopal Church has been a mainstay in Sycamore for more than a century, and parishioners Sunday celebrated the history and benevolence that brought the house of worship to the area.

Members gathered after the morning worship service and paid tribute to the church building as it turned 137.

It was a double celebration, as they noted the 160 years since the parish was established in Sycamore.

“This is where we come together to worship God. That really is the long and short of it, as far as the building,” said the Rev. David Hedges, the church rector. “This is the home of the body of Christ.”

In the fall of 1877, construction was completed on the English Gothic-style church building that parishioner James Waterman paid in full to have built.

The building was consecrated Jan. 31, 1878, and to this day, most of the the original furnishings still are there, according to church literature.

As worshippers enter through St. Peter’s iconic red doors, they step into a sanctuary that includes many 19th century appointments that underscore early members’ affinity for their church building.

The black walnut pews, for example, were built by the parish’s second warden, who also owned a cabinet factory in town.

The altar cross is made of white marble and was created in 1882 as a tribute to Waterman’s wife, Abbie.

Other noted features of the church, which was constructed with Batavia limestone, include memorial stained glass windows, a belfry and period paintings. It was designed by George Garnsey, who also designed the Ellwood House in DeKalb.

His architecture firm also created the state Capitol building in Springfield.

“We have been bequeathed a beautiful worship space here,” said Larry Dirst, the church historian.

“The windows, all of the things that we have around us to aid us in our worship of God, it’s just beautiful.”

Dirst created a small exhibit in the fellowship hall adjacent to the church that included historical artifacts and other information that people browsed to learn more about RHONDA GILLESPIE – rgillespie@shawmedia.com the church.

Longtime members such as Barbara Weaver, 88, and those who recently joined the parish spoke of not only of the building’s beauty, but also of how welcoming St. Peter’s Episcopal Church is as a whole.

Weaver joined the church in 1962, and her late husband had played the organ there for more than 40 years.

Fat Basics 101

picking a well-balanced diet.

We will start with the “bad”: saturated and trans fats. Why are these considered bad? These fats can negatively affect your health by increasing “bad” cholesterol (LDL), decreasing “good” cholesterol (HDL) and increasing your risk of developing coronary heart disease.

We understand that bad cholesterol clogs arteries and good cholesterol helps to clear arteries, so why even eat saturated or trans fat? With the exception of artificially made trans fats, these fats do not need to be completely cut out, just consumed in moderation. The American Heart Association suggests that Americans eat 1% or less of their calories from trans fat and 7% or less from saturated fats.

Saturated and trans fat can still be found in many foods including animal products, doughnuts, potato chips, margarines and shortenings. Make sure to double check food labels under “total fat” to ensure you are not consuming too much of these fats and watch for the term “partially hydrogenated oils” in the ingredients list.

nerve activity; and by keeping the immune system healthy. With a list like that, who wouldn’t want to eat these healthy fats?

Recommendations for adults 19 years and older state that 20% to 35% of your total calories should come from fat. Remember to consume the main portion from the healthy fats.

Omega-3 sources include oils such as canola, flax and soybean; walnuts; fish such as herring, mackerel, salmon and tuna; algae; and Omega-3 eggs.

Omega-6 sources include oils such as canola, corn, olive, peanut, safflower, soybean and sunflower; nuts such as almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, peanuts, pecans, pistachios and walnuts; eggs and dairy.

Omega-9 sources include oils such as canola, olive, peanut, sunflower, safflower; nuts such as almonds, cashews, macadamias, peanuts, pecans, pistachios, hazelnuts and walnuts; avocados; eggs; dairy; meat and poultry.

DeKALB – Northern Illinois University Police officials are working with the FBI to bring federal charges against a man suspected of making a bomb threat at NIU last October, university officials said.

The man, who was arrested in California on unrelated charges, is suspected in the NIU hoax, but hasn’t been charged in connection with it, NIU spokesman Joe King

said. University officials declined to the name the suspect before he was formally charged.

“We have tentatively identified a suspect and are consulting with the FBI on possibly seeking federal charges,” NIU Police Chief Tom Phillips said in a statement. “The matter is still being investigated.”

The bomb threat was called in to the university around 6 p.m. Oct. 8.

NIU’s DeKalb campus was evacuated.

The university’s Naperville and Rockford campuses also were evacuated.

NIU, DeKalb and the Illinois State Police were on campus to investigate.

A similar threat had been reported earlier that day at DePaul University. Earlier that week, the College of DuPage had a threat reported.

DeKALB – Two Evanston men face criminal charges after a fight in DeKalb during which one man tried to run several people over in an SUV, police said.

Gerardo Patino, 19, 1400 block of Brummel Avenue, Evanston, was charged with two counts of aggravated assault along with reckless driving, fleeing to elude police, failing to report an Gerardo accident, leaving the Patino scene of an accident and several other driving violations, according to a news release from the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office.

Quinn M. Cahill, 18, 1200 block of Lee Street, Evanston, was charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, after Quinn M. he got into the vehicle Cahill with Patino after the fight, the release said.

A DeKalb County sheriff’s deputy reported seeing six people fighting at about 3 a.m. Sunday in the front yard of 910 W. Hillcrest Drive, DeKalb. Police said Patino, driving a 2004 Honda Pilot, tried to run over the people fighting. He then hit the deputy’s squad car before again trying to run over several people, the release said.

Patino was able to pick up Cahill, whom investigators described as a friend, and get away.

A motorist reported seeing the SUV they were in traveling recklessly on Interstate 88 a short time later. Police found the vehicle near the DeKalb Oasis. After a brief foot chase, both men were stopped, the release said.

Police said they found drugs in Cahill’s possession. They said they also found Patino was in violation of the state’s zero-tolerance law. The law prohibits those younger than age 21 from driving with any trace of alcohol in their system.

Both men were taken to the DeKalb County Jail. Both remained in jail Sunday afternoon pending a bond hearing.

No one was injured in the fight or chase, according to the news release.

DeKALB – A Northern Illinois University student was taken to the hospital with injuries not deemed to be life-threatening after being shot at an off-campus party early Saturday morning, and police arrested two men in connection with the incident.

DeKalb police and NIU police were called to the 1000 block of Ridge Drive about 3:30 a.m. Saturday for a report of a fight. While officers were on their way to the scene, they were told that several shots had been fired.

Budget fight leaves Illinois stuck with overdue bills

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – The Friday afternoon email read with remarkable alacrity, given its message: The trip to a Springfield store to buy all-purpose Fabuloso Cleaner for the Secretary of State’s Office was for naught.

“They would not sell to us because we are shut off due to lack of payment,” the storeroom worker wrote to his boss and others. “Have a great weekend!”

As Illinois politicians continue to squabble over a budget that should have taken effect July 1, hundreds of state contractors have been left with little more than IOUs, according to more than 500 pages of documents – just since Nov. 1 – released to The Associated Press under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. From a $28.44 late-notice water and sewer bill at the 1848 Mt. Pulaski Courthouse – which had neither when Abraham Lincoln practiced law there – to $4.8 million that Illinois owes Michigan for a health partnership, vendors have flooded the Capitol with disconnect warnings, credit-hold notices, desperate pleas and even a frowny face stamp in an effort to get paid.

The state owes $2 million to Ashley’s Quality Care in Chicago, which provides in-home care workers to keep seniors out of nursing homes, according to chief accountant Michael Robinson.

Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, insistent on pro-business changes to boost commerce, can’t agree on an annual spending plan with Democrats who control the Legislature. They oppose his conservative agenda, saying a multibillion-dollar deficit needs tax-increase

and spending-cut triage.

Billions of dollars continue to be spent on services ordered by federal court orders or limited legislative action, but the lack of spending authority means bureaucrats are spending more time dealing with angry vendors. Consider: • The storeroom staffer’s failed shopping trip led a supervisor to compile a list of Springfield businesses that had cut off the state. It included a janitorial supply shop, hardware stores, a carpet store, an electrical supplier and a general construction firm.

• A Department of Human Services rehabilitation counselor in Downers Grove sought a taxi for a client and received an email that “all service is on hold due to nonpayment.”

• An Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission arbitrator’s personalized datestamp broke, but it wasn’t replaced because the supplier was awaiting $511.06 that was past due.

• A New Jersey landlord threatened to evict Illinois Revenue Department tax auditors from their rented home in that state unless he received five months’ rent totaling $37,936.20. It was paid.

The debacle has produced provocative exchanges. “I feel sorry for the people who live in Illinois. Pretty sad!” wrote a St. Louis company’s administrative assistant. One bureaucrat, forwarding a sales rep’s overdue-payment warning up the chain, protested without irony, “I am only ordering what we need, nothing more.”

The state has deflected blame at times. When the Central Illinois Area Agency on Aging laid off a state-paid worker because of the spending freeze, the contract-termination letter noted, “the state does not intend to pursue damages as a result of this breach.”

Group of cops cost $34M in settlements

CHICAGO – A group of 124 Chicago police officers has cost the city $34 million in misconduct settlements since 2009, according to a newspaper report.

While the officers represent a fraction of the police force’s roughly 12,000 officers, they are identified in nearly a third of the misconduct lawsuits settled since 2009. The Chicago Tribune reported one officer had seven lawsuits against him that were settled.

Unlike high-profile police brutality cases that have triggered federal investigations, most of the settlements involve less-serious claims such as injuring arrestees during traffic stops, making false arrests and using racial slurs. The lawsuits largely have escaped City Council scrutiny because the settlements have been at or under $100,000. If they’re larger, aldermen must approve them.

Also, the Tribune found many of the incidents didn’t occur in high-crime areas as union officials have argued, and officers rarely were disciplined.

A Chicago police spokesman acknowledged it has been a decades-old problem.

Turnout is name of the game in Monday’s Iowa caucuses

By SCOTT BAUER and BILL BARROW The Associated Press IOWA CITY, Iowa – From sounding duck calls to predicting the weather, presidential contenders are blanketing Iowa in a final frenzy to close the deal before Monday’s Iowa caucuses begin the formal process of choosing President Barack Obama’s successor.

Republican Donald Trump, campaigning with his wife, Melania, and pregnant daughter, Ivanka, continued his attacks on Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. The two men lead polls of likely caucus-goers. Trump also predicted that “many” senators “soon” would endorse him rather than their Texas colleague.

Trump didn’t name any such senators, and none immediately emerged.

Cruz, meanwhile, campaigned on the eve of the caucuses with conservative media firebrand Glenn Beck and “Duck Dynasty” cable TV star Phil Robertston.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who is running third, pitched

himself as the pragmatic choice for Republicans who want to win in November.

In a deadlocked Democratic race, Hillary Clinton stuck to her message that she is the most experienced and most electable candidate, as she tries to stave off insurgent candidate Bernie Sanders.

The Vermont senator looked to build on his apparent momentum, as he appeared before enthusiastic crowds the same afternoon that his campaign announced it raised more than $20 million in January, a sign that he will continue to match Clinton’s considerable resources.

One development – the weather – was beyond the candidates’ control. Snowfall forecast to start Monday night appeared more likely to hinder the hopefuls in their rush out of Iowa than the voters going to caucus. Republican John Kasich already has decamped to New Hampshire.

Iowa offers only a small contingent of the delegates who will determine the nominees, but the game of expectations counts for far more than the electoral math in

the state. Campaigns worked aggressively to set those expectations in their favor for Iowa, the Feb. 9 primary in New Hampshire and beyond.

The one agreement among all candidates: The outcome will boil down to turnout, and they’re trying to make whatever argument they can to ensure their supporters, perhaps, a few last-minute deciders, show up Monday night.

At an afternoon rally in Iowa City, Cruz urged voters to bring 10 of their friends to caucus on Monday. “We can’t roll the dice,” he said.

On the airwaves, Cruz focused his final offensive on Rubio. One ad says the Florida senator is the candidate of “tax hikes” and “amnesty” and described him as “the Republican Obama.”

Rubio has taken his own shots, particularly as he and Cruz joust over who is more conservative on immigration. But the Florida senator also tries to position himself above the fray, arguing he’s the best hope for Republicans to defeat the Democratic nominee in November.

OUR VIEW

To state leaders: Do your jobs! Now!

Here it is, Feb. 1 – seven full months after the July 1 start of Illinois’ fiscal year – and state government still does not have an operating budget in place. Nearly 60 percent of the fiscal year behind us, and nothing.

We find that appalling.

What’s more appalling is Gov. Bruce Rauner and legislative leaders don’t seem to care.

There are no plans to call lawmakers back to Springfield to hammer out a deal.

There are no plans to curb the court-ordered spending that is driving Illinois even further into debt.

There are no plans to help the state’s drowning social service agencies – including many in DeKalb County – that are owed tens of millions of dollars for services already provided. Some of those agencies already have closed their doors, never to open up again.

Others are teetering on the brink.

There are no plans to aid the state’s struggling colleges and universities – including Northern Illinois University. While NIU is in better fiscal shape than other state colleges, its president, Doug Baker, joined eight other university presidents last month in writing a letter to Rauner and legislative leaders warning that a failure to approve a budget soon could leave higher education damaged beyond repair.

The General Assembly’s Democratic leaders insist that Rauner agree to higher taxes to close the budget deficit.

Rauner, in turn, wants structural reforms in government – including such things as workers’ compensation reform, tort reform, term limits, a property tax freeze and redistricting reform – before agreeing to higher taxes to fix the budget.

Higher taxes are the last thing Illinois’ already over-burdened residents need. According to Census data released last month, Illinois leads the nation in residents leaving their state. About 105,200 more people left Illinois than arrived between July 2014 and July 2015, the first time that number exceeded 100,000. Every other state in the Midwest showed a net increase.

Why? Think crippling taxes.

Gov. Rauner, Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton: DO YOUR JOBS! Get lawmakers back to Springfield and get a budget passed.

Now.

Benefits of cheap oil

source.

And international alarm over carbon’s role in global warming has taken root in concrete ways. It appears that vows to cut fossil-fuel use at the Paris climate-change summit are being taken seriously.

In this country, Congress recently extended tax credits for new wind and solar projects.

President Obama’s Clean Power Plan, meanwhile, is requiring states to cut power-plant emissions.

Sharply lower oil and gas prices have translated into enormous savings for consumers.

Some developing countries have used their newfound cash to cut subsidies for gasoline.

Countries dependent on imported oil are using the savings to invest in wind power, according to Vestas.

Drops in oil prices act like tax cuts, and American consumers may be spending some of their bounty on SUVs and trucks.

That’s not great environmental news.

On the other hand, SUVs and trucks are now so much more fuel-efficient than in the past.

Within the fossil-fuel world, a

• Solar panel installation continues in face of falling oil prices.

•Stock prices doubled last year with green energy technology.

•Savings lead developing countries to

cut subsidies for gasoline.

•Economies of Texas, North Dakota have become considerably diversified.

•Saving among American consumers has increased.

sharp drop in oil prices has rearranged the economics with environmental benefits.

As The Economist magazine explained, “Cheap oil has a green lining, as it drags down the global prices of natural gas, which crowds out coal, a dirtier fuel.”

Another green lining is that it makes drilling in hard-to-reach places, such as the Arctic, less economically feasible.

This offered good timing for Obama’s proposal to extend “wilderness” designation to millions of the acres in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Drilling and mining are off-limits in wilderness-designated areas.

ANWR has long been a battleground between environmentalists and oil companies.

Some economists worry that the oil-price “tax cut” isn’t doing much for the American economy because consumers seem to mostly be saving the money instead of spending.

Cheer up.

Saving should be regarded as deferred spending – and, in any case,

it’s about time Americans amassed an economic cushion.

Of course, the drop in energy prices has hurt oil-and-gas-producing parts of this country, Alaska in particular.

Happily, the economies of oil-producing Texas and North Dakota have become considerably diversified.

Energy is not the only game.

Certainly, oil and gas are not.

Texas has become America’s biggest producer of wind-powered electricity.

Renewable energy is not the environmental plaything mocked years ago by the drilling interests and their politicians.

Two months ago, in the midst of an oil-price tumble, Goldman Sachs said it was quadrupling its bet in alternative energy to $150 billion.

Hard numbers have clearly taken over the debate, and clean energy is winning.

among others screamed about the Iranian’s action being aggressive and embarrassing to our military, where was the obvious next question: What would we have done under similar circumstances?

I looked for a week and never found a member of the conservative press or other media ask this question.

When, during the “town meeting” CNN held with President Obama following the president’s issuing of his executive orders on gun control, a woman stated that the new orders

would interfere with her right to purchase additional guns for her protection, where was the obvious next question from either the president or Anderson Cooper: How would background checks or any other measures implemented in the new orders interfere with or even inconvenience her in purchasing more weapons?

Whenever Gov. Rauner makes his arguments for right-to-work zones that would remove the obligation of workers to financially support the democratically elected “union bosses” who bargain for

their wages, benefits and the conditions under which they work, where is the obvious next question: Mr. Governor, would you support the same principle being applied to state taxes that support the policies of democratically elected “bosses” of the state of Illinois?

Without these follow-up questions, the logic and reasoning of the speaker goes unchallenged, and speakers too often get away with seeming to answer questions they have, in fact, not answered.

It stood to reason that collapsing prices for oil would make clean energy relatively more expensive.

That would dampen the public’s craving to install solar panels and build wind turbines.

Well, let’s try to reason again.

A lot of opposing forces are shaking the old assumptions.

In the jaws of bargain oil, the U.S. Department of Energy expects Americans to increase their use of renewable power this year by almost 10 percent. Why is this time different?

Consider solar power.

Over the past 18 months, the price of oil has fallen by 75 percent, yet the installation of solar panels proceeds apace.

The advocacy group Solar Foundation reports that jobs in solar energy increased last year by more than 20 percent.

Most of them were for installers.

As for wind power, Denmark-based Vestas – one of the big three wind-turbine companies – said that business continues to boom in North America, Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Its stock price doubled last year.

What’s going on? For starters, while the price of oil has fallen, so have the costs of green energy technologies. For another, strangling air pollution in China and India has fed a desire for clean energy greater than the urge to find the cheapest

SPORTS DeKALB BOYS BOWLING

Canaday finds normalcy with bowling Freshman has dealt with health issues his whole life

By JESSE SEVERSON jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Christopher Canaday remembers how white the operating room was.

Now a freshman bowler at DeKalb, Canaday laid on the operating table at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin in May, waiting to undergo the 42nd surgery and sixth open-heart surgery of his young life. Born with the heart condition pulmonary atresia, which has coupled with the stomach condition pyloric stenosis to make up for most of the surgeries, Canaday was preparing to undergo what would end up being a 12-hour surgery to fully close up his right ventricle.

It would, everybody hoped, cure the newly diagnosed condition of hypoxia.

The hypoxia, which leaves the blood deprived of oxygen, had caused dizziness, lethargy and loose blood clots that had reached his brain, displaying the symptoms of a stroke – drooping on the left side and shaking on the right, memory loss and occasionally losing the ability to speak.

Christopher would be the fifth person to undergo this particular surgery by Dr. James Tweddell, a renowned cardiothoracic surgeon who is now the co-director of the Heart Institute at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.

“I wanted it to be over,” Christopher said. “I wanted to feel better. He didn’t put it in a way that it was scary.”

He remembers all the new doctors – different from his usual routine – and the country music playing on a radio inside the operating room, which was a calming surprise.

The anesthesiologist tried to stick the IV into his left wrist, but eventually settled on placing it into his left arm.

Seconds passed and then it all went black.

Briana Canaday was stillborn in 1996, the victim of pulmonary atresia after her mother, Amy, was pregnant with her for a full 36 weeks.

During a practice heading into the Barbs’ sectional match last month, he lined up on the far left of the lane – the ball looking like half of his body since the surgeries and medicine have slowed the growth of the 4-foot11, 110-pound freshman.

He was so far left of the lane that it looked like he was about to roll on the next lane over.

Instead, he made the familiar steps toward the pins, holding the ball with two hands – his left hand resting on the side of the ball like world-famous Australian two-handed bowler Jason

Mark Canaday was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in 2014 and doctors recently discovered the cancer cells relocated, which means more chemotherapy treatments. The pin viewing device allows him to carefully watch the pins without getting up out of his chair as the chemotherapy drains his energy.

Belomonte, who Christopher studies on YouTube. He released the ball hard to the right and it flirted with the gutter while rolling down the lane before powerfully curving to the left and colliding with the pins.

He walked back with a smile.

Before this season, he had never been on a bowling team. He would occasionally go bowling with his brothers and friends. He started freshman year on junior varsity, regularly rolling in the 60s and 70s. But by the end of the season, he was in triple-digits – at the junior varsity invitational at Vernon Hills, he rolled a season-high 179.

He rolled a few games with varsity this season and his positive attitude – his zest for simply being alive – caused a ripple-effect among his team.

“He brings such a positivity that the rest of the players just bowled better,” DeKalb coach Allen Collins said.

Christopher played soccer, basketball and baseball through elementary school but had to stop in junior high – the balls were coming too fast and the risk was too high.

However, well before the high school bowling season started, Christopher, his brothers and Zack Brust – a friend of oldest brother, Brandon – went to Mardi Gras Lanes. Brust,

already a member of the Barbs bowling team, showed tips to Christopher before telling him he should come out for the team when he was a freshman.

“I had known him since he was in elementary school,” said Brust, now a senior. “We aren’t a discriminating team. We have all sorts. I figured he would have fun.”

Christopher thought about it – he hadn’t played a sport in two years – before eventually being talked into going to try-outs. He feared he would be the only one cut from the team.

He walked into the bowling alley and Amy, the mother in her, hovered away from the team after she had dropped him off.

“It’s okay if you don’t want to do it,” she told him, “I’ll be right over here.”

In the distance, she saw the DeKalb bowling team circle around Christopher. They were all laughing and smiling together. Christopher smiled at his mom and waved.

“Mom, you can go,” he told her. “I think I’ll stay.”

tery that powers both of them – placed into him when he was 6-years-old.

The pacemaker makes sure his heart rate doesn’t get too low and the defibrillator prevents him from going into cardiac arrest. A couple times a year, Christopher will get dizzy and can feel the defibrillator ready to kick in – a warm sensation inside and a slight noise – and he must brace himself to be shocked.

He can give his family a countdown to prepare for it and one of them will hold him as it kicks in.

Usually, it only takes one shock to reset his heart rate and get it back to normal.

Usually.

On a spring day in 2010, a 9-yearold Christopher was watching his brothers play soccer in the backyard when it started to shock him.

Only this time, it didn’t stop.

During the genetics counseling that followed, the couple was told there was a 0.009 percent chance of having another child with the condition.

In the years that followed, she had a pair of successful pregnancies – giving birth to two healthy boys, Brandon and Chad.

A year later, while deep in her pregnancy for her latest son, Amy began to feel violently ill for 10 days, unable to even keep a drink of water down. She was diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux and a hiatal hernia.

The child inside her – Christopher – was pushing into her organs and she was rushed for an emergency Cesarean section.

On September 22, 2000, in the 35th week of pregnancy, she gave birth to Christopher. A sign to the health problems that would plague him for his entire life, he came into the world with something wrong.

“He was born and he started crying and then his crying got really weak and then I looked over and he was blue,” Amy said. “I started crying and I said, ‘I’m burying another one of my kids.’ ” Christopher was removed from her and had to be transported to Rockford Memorial Hospital with Mark.

Required to stay two days in the hospital after the C-section, Amy only had a fleeting moment to see her dying son, who came back into the room on an incubator. Instead of holding him in her arms, she resorted to the next best thing. Laying in the bed, she kissed her hand and placed it on his forehead.

Christopher was born with the condition in 35 weeks that had killed his sister in 36. If he was born a week later – even 48 hours later – he would have likely been born dead.

18 MEN’S BASKETBALL: MIAMI (OHIO) 72, NORTHERN ILLINOIS 59

Road woes get worse for Huskies DAILY CHRONICLE The struggles on the road for the Northern Illinois men’s basketball team just a got a lot worse.

The Huskies lost, 72-59, at Miami (Ohio) on Saturday, handing the RedHawks their first Mid-American Conference win.

It’s the third straight road loss for the Huskies (16-5 overall, 5-3 MAC) and

second in a row overall for a team that started 14-2.

The Huskies led the game for 19 seconds, the last time coming at 31-29 with 2:35 left in the first half.

“We were very disappointed with the start of the game,” said NIU coach Mark Montgomery. “When a team hasn’t been playing well like Miami it gives them confidence, they came out

punching and we couldn’t’t stop them. It seemed like when we made a three and it looked like we were going to make a run, they made a three, and they made a lot of them at the end of the shot clock.

“When you go on the road in the MAC it is a dogfight, throw the records out. They were hungrier than us and I am disappointed in myself and in our team because our effort wasn’t where

it should be.”

Travon Baker got three steals to reach 166 for his career, setting a school record.

However, the Huskies’ leading scorer shot 0 for 9 and scored just two points in the loss. Marshawn Wilson scored 24 to lead the Huskies, while Geovonie McKnight led the RedHawks (7-14, 1-7) with 18.

Marin Maric led all players with seven rebounds.

Christopher began to beg to them – “please, make it stop” – and through the violent, continuous shocks, he told his family how much he loved them and to not let him die.

“I was just thinking I want to see my friends one last time,” Christopher said now, beginning to tear up at the traumatic memory. “I was just thinking about life.”

The shocks ruthlessly continued – around 25 total – while Mark held onto his young son. Mark felt each shock, with the static electricity creating what appeared to be a halo-like light above their heads.

“It felt like a punch to the gut – a pretty heavy punch,” Mark said of the impact he had from the shocks. “I can’t imagine what he was feeling. It felt like I was getting punched in the gut each time.”

Lacia (Gorman) on her. Then we’d put Cass on her to show her more length. I think all three of those players really tried to do a good job, we tried to keep the ball out of her hands, but she had a great night and shot the ball.”

Joanna Smith shot 10 of 19, including 7 of 11 on 3-pointers, to finish with 31 points for the Bulls (10-9, 2-6) – the second straight game the Huskies have given up at least 30 to an opposing player.

“When I had to guard her, I just gave it all I had,” Glenn said. “It got all my attention, and I think that’s what helped us get in the rhythm on the offensive end and make some shots.”

Four Huskies hit double-digit scoring, with Glenn grabbing 13 and seven rebounds, Woods scoring 14, and freshman Mikayla Voigt leading the team with 17. Lehman had eight points, eight assists and 13 rebounds.

The Huskies led by as much as seven in the first quarter, than the Bulls built a nine-point lead in the second and pushed it to 12 at the end of three.

They still led 66-57 with 8:81 left when NIU scored 10 straight, including a 3-pointer by Woods and capped by a layup by Kelli Smith to give the Huskies their first lead since early in the second quarter.

Buffalo pushed the lead to 72-69 with 1:03 left, but Lehman hit a jumper 10 seconds later to cut the lead to one, then Kelly Smith hit her layup with 14 seconds left to begin the late see-saw battle.

The Huskies will be off until Saturday, when they return to the road to take on Ohio. Even though it’s just one win, Carlsen said getting rid of a long losing streak is always welcome.

“I think regardless, the win was the only thing that was going to make everybody feel better,” Carlsen said.

“We’ve had some spurts where we’ve played good basketball, but we haven’t played 40 good minutes the last few weeks. Whether it was in dramatic fashion or not, a win is something these guys really needed.”

Carlsen said she didn’t think the dramatic nature of the win added anything, but Kelly Smith said it might make it have a little extra effect.

“Obviously it feels good to win like that regardless – the whole crowd involved, everyone on their feet,” Smith said. “Just the fact it broke our streak, I think it’s great for us going forward.

Getting a win for us is great, like coach said, but winning like that, the excitement will carry on.”

Glenn sinks a 3-pointer at the buzzer, sealing the Huskies’ win over Buffalo. The win ended a seven-game losing streak for the team.

DeKALB – For someone who said she didn’t want to shoot, the shot was pretty close to perfect.

Getting the ball from Courtney Woods with time about to expire, Cassidy Glenn fired up a 3-pointer from about 5 feet beyond the top of the key, splashing it through the net as the buzzer sounded to give the Northern Illinois women’s basketball team a 76-74 home win against Buffalo on Saturday.

“First of all, I was freaking out taking the ball out – just putting that out there,” Glenn said through a laugh after the game. “I was supposed to look for Ally (Lehman), but she had help defense, so I just looked for the first open person, which was Courtney. I was expecting her to shoot it, and she just gave me the ball back. I don’t even know how much time was left, I just threw it and prayed as it left my hands.

And it went it.”

“It was a beautiful shot,” Kelly Smith quickly jumped in to add about the points that snapped the Huskies’ seven-game losing streak.

Smith was impressed with the shot, in part, at least, because it helped negate a foul called on her on the previous possession. She had hit a field goal to put the Huskies up 73-72 with 14 seconds left, but while playing help defense on Stephanie Reid, Smith got whistled for a fifth foul.

“Well, I didn’t touch her,” Smith said as she, Glenn and coach Lisa Carlsen started laughing to varying degrees. “I wasn’t straight up – OK, that sounded wrong. But I was helping because she wasn’t my girl, and I figured she was more of an offensive threat than my girl was, and I’m going to go do whatever to stop it.”

Smith, who had 16 points and 11 rebounds in the win, said she learned her lesson about crunch-time defense.

“From a ref’s point of view, in a tough situation like that, I see how they would call it,” Smith said. “I need to play smarter. Gladly, it wasn’t the end of the game there. Cass came in with a great shot. So I feel a lot better about that play.”

Glenn not only hit the winning shot for the Huskies (9-11 overall, 2-7 MAC), but she played tough fourth quarter defense on Buffalo’s Joanna Smith, who scored 29 points in the first three quarters but, after Glenn and Lacia Gorman took over the defense on her, scored twice more.

“We have some good defenders that have different strengths,” Carlsen said.

“As she got a little more comfortable with Ally (Lehman) on her, we’d put

When going gets tough, Bulls fold the Clippers but a lack of keeping them off the 3-point line. Los Angeles (32-16) held its own 3-point contest against the Bulls, and LOS ANGELES – The Bulls aren’t all of them won, as the Clippers shot 17 for short on swagger to start games.

The Bulls did get nice contributions from Derrick Rose and Butler, who combined to score 43 points from the backcourt. Veteran Pau Gasol chipped in 15 points and 14 rebounds. But when the opposing team’s bench outscores yours, 58-18, well, that’s the making of a long afternoon.

“It’s been the story of the year, but like I said, if I could put a finger on it, I swear I would,” Rose said of his team’s up-and-down play from game-to-game.

“I watch a lot of basketball, and the only thing I can think of is just that effort, and sticking with the game-plan.”

Unfortunately for the Bulls, there’s not a lot of time to hang heads. They play the second half of a back-to-back Monday night in Utah.

“We’re not disciplined,” Gasol said.

“It’s true. It’s a fact. We’ll have to prove if we can or not. We’re disciplined at times. But the lack of consistency is very noticeable. It’s nothing new.

There’s no discovery here.”

PREP ROUNDUP

Smith takes 10th at state for Sycamore boys bowling DAILY CHRONICLE Even with a rough final game, Sycamore boys bowler Trevor Smith still managed a 10th-place finish Saturday at the IHSA State Championships in O’Fallon.

Smith rolled a 2,759 for the two-day tournament, including series of 722 and 682 on his final day. Sycamore qualified as a team, but just missed qualifying as a team for day 2.

Genoa-Kingston took 10th with an 83.30. Highland won with a 92.84. edging Morris (92.52).

This was the fourth year the IHSA has sponsored a dance state championship, and the first time the Spartans qualified for the second the day. They were eliminated in the first round of state competition in 2013 and 2015.

With senior captains Katharine Kuhn and Sydney Finkelstein, Pawola said the finish was special.

“It was their fourth year of dancing and my fourth of coaching,” Pawola said of all her seniors, who were freshmen when the program started. “They were a new team starting with me as a new coach in a new sport four years ago. It’s really special.”

“We were missing six of our guys today, so we were happy to pull off the win,” coach Melanie Chambers said. “The boys brought their enthusiasm and energy to the meet today as we were the loudest ones on the deck.”

The Barbs host the independent conference meet at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Kishwaukee Family YMCA.

Yet the Panthers remind the 1985 Bears of themselves.

“That team looks a lot like we did back in the day,” former quarterback Jim McMahon said. “Very dominating on both sides of the ball.”

Former Bears linebacker Jim Morrissey said Rivera, one of his best friends, deserves the acclaim.

“He works so hard,” he said. “He’s got a great team – kinda similar to the ’85 team in a way.”

Asked how the Panthers reminded him of the 1985 Bears, Hall of Fame linebacker Mike Singletary had a one-word answer: “talent.”

Some knew Rivera would make a good coach during his playing career from 1984 to ’92, all as a linebacker for the Bears.

Last week, he stressed to his players what Ditka told the 1985 Bears – to enjoy the moment and to continue doing what got them there. Since taking over the Panthers in 2011, he has tried to emulate Ditka, but to a point. He’s less old-school; no team in football dances more than the Panthers.

Tom Ulrich of Country Store and Catering, Bart Desch from Pay-It-Forward House and Ralph Townsend of the Sycamore VFW invite the community to join them at the VFW for an all-you-can-eat buffet dinner on Feb. 5 to benefit the Pay-It-Forward House.

The ongoing invasion of robots into our everyday lives will be addressed by Brianno Coller, an engineering professor, and David Gunkel, a communications professor, at the next STEM Café, “R2D2 and You: How Star Wars Droids are Shaping Robotics and HumanRobot Interactions.”

The free talk and discussion will be from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Feb. 9, at Two Brothers Roundhouse, 205 N. Broadway in Aurora.

For years, humankind has thought of capable, intelligent robots as the stuff of science-fiction, from the friendly droids of “Star Wars” to the mechanical overlords of “The Matrix.” In fact, smart robots are already all around us –

with more coming every day.

Coller will focus on how machines – from smartphones to airplane pilot systems – are programmed to “learn” from the data they collect.

Gunkel, a specialist in the philosophy of technology, will explore broader questions posed by advances in smart machines.

He discussed these issues in his award-winning 2012 book, “The Machine Question.”

This event is part of STEM Outreach’s series of monthly STEM Cafés, all of which are free and open to the public.

Food and drinks will be available for purchase from Two Brothers Round House.

For information on STEM Cafés and other STEM events, call 815-753-4751 or email jdymond@niu.edu.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Same combination, different plays

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Peter De Vries, a novelist and editor who died in 1993, said, “The universe is like a safe to which there is a combination, but the combination is locked up in the safe.”

Bridge players sometimes feel that way about suit combinations. As if to stress the point, we will have this North-South spade holding for three days in three different scenarios.

First, after West leads a fourth-highest spade five, how should South plan the play in three no-trump?

South’s auction showed (22-plus) 23-24 points and a balanced hand.

North thought three no-trump would be a walk in the park.

When the dummy came down, South could see eight top tricks: one spade (because of the lead), three hearts, two diamonds and two clubs.

A ninth trick was sure to come from clubs or might appear from hearts if the suit split 3-3. But what should declarer do right now?

With only two spades in the dummy, he should call for dummy’s queen.

Here, when the queen holds, South runs the club 10.

Yes, the finesse loses, but declarer still has a spade stopper with West on lead. Declarer takes at least nine tricks: one spade, three hearts, two diamonds and three clubs.

If instead declarer had played dummy’s low spade at trick one, East would have put up his jack.

Then, when South took that trick with his king, how would he continue?

Declarer would cash the top hearts (no luck) and the club ace, cross to dummy with a diamond, and take the club finesse.

Here, West would win that trick and cash four spade winners.

cold: some sneezing, sniffles and coughing for a few days. Sometimes influenza is that mild. However, usually it is much more severe.

In fact, 25,000 to 40,000 people die each year in the United States from influenza.

In most years, the people most likely to get severely ill are older adults or people with chronic diseases. These include people with lung disease, heart disease, dementia, diabetes and kidney or liver disease.

Besides protecting yourself, a flu shot makes you less likely to infect someone else, such as an aging or chronically ill parent or grandparent.

The Centers for Disease Control recommends vaccination every year for everyone aged 6 months and older. Flu shots contain inactive, killed virus; you cannot get the flu from this vaccine. There is also an inhalable (nasal) vaccine that contains live, weakened virus. A new, high-dose version of the flu vaccine is intended to help older adults mount a stronger defense against the flu.

Get vaccinated as early as you can – like this week. It takes two to four weeks after you get the shot to build immunity. During this time, you can still be infected by the flu.

Someday we may have a flu vaccine that is close to perfect. Until that time, getting partial protection is better than having no protection at all against a potentially fatal disease.

PUZZLES & ADVICE | Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com

Dear Dr. K: I got the flu vaccine last year and still got the flu. Should I even bother with the flu vaccine this late?

Dear Reader: Yes, you should, but don’t expect perfect protection this year, any more than you should have last year.

Vaccines contain fragments of three or four strains that are predicted to dominate during the coming flu season. Different strains of the virus circulate each flu season (October-May).

Huge amounts of flu vaccine need to be made each year. That means that production of the vaccine must begin about six months before the flu season starts, in order to make enough for everyone. As a result, the doctors and scientists responsible for developing the next year’s vaccine need to guess at which strains of the virus will be circulating six to nine months later. They make an educated guess, but it’s still a guess. No one has a crystal ball.

Last year’s flu vaccine was partially effective, but not as effective as usual, because early in the 2014-15 season, a new flu strain emerged.

As the vaccine did not include the new strain, the vaccine’s overall effectiveness was only about 20 percent. In a good year, the effectiveness can be 60 percent or greater.

But don’t let last year’s experience put you off of vaccination.

The flu vaccine always reduces the risk of illness – just more so in some seasons than in others.

Some of my patients don’t get flu shots, despite my recommendation to do so. Sometimes the reason is that they don’t believe the vaccine will really protect them, although that clearly is wrong.

Equally often, they think of the flu as an illness like the common

It was reckless of Steve to have had unprotected sex with Nina under these circumstances.

That said, gay men can be great parents, and the focus should be on successful co-parenting of the child.

Gay or straight, Steve will always be that child’s father.

His financial responsibility will last until the boy is no longer a minor. If your friend encounters trouble achieving a workable solution with Nina regarding co-parenting, he should contact lambdalegal.org.

Dear Abby: My friend “Steve” is in his mid-20s and became a father a few months ago.

He’s happy and excited about it, and he’s good with the baby. He has been living with the mother, “Nina,” who is a few years older, for a while now. Nina is also a friend of mine, and this is her second child.

My problem is that Steve told me some time before his son was born that he thinks he is gay. He wants to wait until Nina recovers from the pregnancy and finds a job before he tells her. I know he intends on being as big a part of the child’s life as possible.

As much as I don’t want Nina to be a single mother twice over, it doesn’t seem good for her, Steve or the children to stay in a sham relationship.

How can he break the news to her in a way that won’t jeopardize his chance to be a father to his son? – Con-
