New leads in 20-year-old slaying

Coverage of Fleming murder case generating fresh information

By KATRINA J.E. MILTON kmilton@shawmedia.com

DIXON – A little more than a week after the 20th anniversary of Amy Todd Fleming’s death, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office is following new leads in her unsolved murder case.

On Jan. 11, 1996, Fleming, 25, was found strangled at her home off Route 30 in rural Lee. Fleming, a middle school special education teacher at Indian Creek School District 425, was found by co-workers after she failed to show up for work that morning.

After news articles were published about the case on the 20th anniversary of Fleming’s death, Lee County detective Sgt. Shane Miller said he has received as many as four calls in one day with tips about it.

“We have had six to eight new leads, some with information we’ve never heard before,” Miller said. “We’ve been given good information, information that is going to help our investigation.”

Lee County detectives continue to follow leads and ask for the public’s help in solving Fleming’s killing.

“It’s still too early to say if these new leads will solve the case, but this is more information than we’ve received in years,” Miller said. “People out there may still have information. We ask them to come forward to help us solve Amy’s murder. Any new information is great, and every little bit helps.”

The case remains unsolved.

Police believe they know some things about the crime – that it wasn’t a random act, and it wasn’t a burglary, even though the killer might have tried to make it look

that way. They also believe some people they questioned during the investigation have been untruthful and evasive.

Law enforcement agencies throughout northern Illinois assisted with the case, including officers from Boone, Lee, DeKalb, Ogle, Stephenson, Whiteside and Winnebago county sheriff’s departments, Illinois State Police and the FBI. More than 500 interviews were conducted. Evidence from Fleming’s case takes up the majority of the Lee County Sheriff’s Office’s major-case evidence room.

One aspect that has made the case difficult to solve is that there is no known motive for her slaying, County Sheriff Roger Scott previously told the Daily Chronicle.

Anyone with information about Fleming’s death should call the Lee County Sheriff’s Office at 815-284-5215.

DeKALB – Community leaders were honored Thursday at the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce annual banquet at Faranda’s Banquet and Conference Center.

The DeKalb Chamber of Commerce hosts the event every year to award local business leaders and owners for their work in the community.

This year, First National Bank took the Business of the Year title.

“Over the last 160 years, First National Bank has been a pillar in Northern Illinois,” said Jill Tritt, 2015 chairwoman of the chamber board of directors. “The bank has donated, pledged and raised millions of dollars that have directly benefited our community.”

Runners up for the award included Advanced Family Eyecare Center; Family Wellness and Rehab SC; H&R

Block Premium; Klein, Stoddard, Buck and Lewis; Midwest Orthopaedic Institute; Ralph’s Car Wash and Detail Center; Studio One Salon and Day Spa; and Unity Hospice of Western Illinois.

“We are very grateful. … for this recognition,” said Frank Roberts, vice president of First National Bank, who is a DeKalb resident and a member of the city’s America’s Best Communities team. “We’re a family business, and the people that work at our bank have been around a long time. … We are deeply honored.”

The city of DeKalb has advanced to the next stage of Frontier Communication’s Americas Best Communities competition, which could lead to a grand prize of $3 million. Town pride and positivity were themes of the evening.

Mike Cullen of National Bank and Trust is the incoming 2016 chamber board chairman. He said he appreciated all the grass-roots efforts going on to make the community a better

place.

“There is an awful lot going on in the city of DeKalb,” he said. “Proudly DeKalb is amazing. Whether we make it to the next phase of the America’s Best Communities or not, I think we need to keep it that way.”

Matt Duffy, executive director of the chamber, concurred with Cullen.

“What an accomplishment it is,” he said. “It’s so much better when you accomplish something as a team. … What DeKalb has accomplished with the ABC contest has been a great burst of energy because of the power of positive people we have who are working together.”

Local residents also were inducted into the chamber’s business leaders hall of fame Thursday, including Mark Kerman, CPA with Siepert & Co., LLP; Tom Matya, Vice President of Development for Zea Mays Holdings, LLC, and the Douglas C. and Lynn M. Roberts Family Foundation and chairman of KishHealth System; and Ging Palma Smith, who taught

Smith, who arrived in DeKalb from the Philippines in 1972 as a Fulbright Scholar to attend Northern Illinois University, said she has truly found home and community in DeKalb.

“I am thrilled to be here and very honored to be chosen for this recognition,” she said. “As we gather here tonight, we are truly proudly DeKalb. There is a wonderful sense of community that we have here that has led me to be involved in so many activities.”

C H I C A G O – R e p u b l ican Gov. Bruce Rauner said Thursday that he would support a top Democrat’s proposal to tackle Illinois’ pension crisis, as long as it includes a union-weakening provision aimed at collective bargaining.

The governor told reporters at his downtown Chicago office that he’d spoken to Senate President John Cullerton and agreed to move forward with a plan that offers state workers a choice on reduced benefits. However, both sides quickly disputed the specifics of the proposal they discussed.

Cullerton, who wasn’t at the news conference, said in a statement that he didn’t support Rauner’s position on collective bargaining. Rauner’s administration argued it was a “core” principle of Cullerton’s plan and lawyers on both sides had agreed it was necessary to withstand a legal challenge.

“We apparently still have a fundamental disagreement over the role of collective bargaining in this process, in the sense that I think collective bargaining should continue to exist and the governor does not,” Cullerton said in a statement.

Since 2013, Cullerton has floated some version of a plan to let workers choose between keeping cost-of-living increases in retirement and counting future raises when figuring retirement benefits. He’s said the choice makes the plan more likely to pass constitutional muster. Last year the Illinois Supreme Court threw out another 2013 overhaul, saying it violated a constitutional clause that said benefits can’t be reduced.

Rauner has supported such a “consideration” model before but said Thursday that he’d tweak it, ensuring that discussion of wage increases be removed from the collective bargaining process.

TODAY’S TALKER

Low oil prices may spark spending

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Sinking oil prices have cratered the stock market. But a silver lining could appear eventually.

Cheaper gasoline and heating oil are giving consumers worldwide more money that they can use to step up spending later – and perhaps energize economies in the United States, Europe and much of Asia.

The question is, will they – and when?

“It’s definitely a plus for consumers,” Sara Johnson, an economist at forecasting firm IHS Global Insight, said of the deep savings being accumulated from sharply lower energy prices. “We should see a pickup in spending in the first quarter.”

The price of oil reached a 12-year low of $28.15 a barrel by the end of trading Wednesday before poking above $29 on Thursday. As recently as June, the price was about $60.

Retail gasoline prices have sunk to a national average of

$1.86 a gallon, the lowest since 2009, according to AAA. The timing and size of the economic benefit that many analysts expect to result from cheaper oil and gas isn’t clear.

Oil prices began falling in mid2014 but have so far failed to deliver the kind of boost to U.S. growth that economists had expected. One factor is that widespread layoffs and spending cuts by oil drillers have offset some of the boost from steady consumer spending.

And many Americans have saved, rather than spent, the money left over after filling up. That has depressed growth because consumer spending drives about 70 percent of the U.S. economy. At some point, though, continued savings from cheaper energy could fuel more robust investment and spending.

“It’s a question of, do they spend it now, or do they spend it later?” said Scott Hoyt, senior director of consumer economics at Moody’s Analytics.

Since the start of the year, global stock prices have plummeted. Many stock investors

fear that cheaper oil reflects a worldwide economic slump that has sapped demand, particularly in emerging markets like China and Brazil.

But most economists say that a huge increase in the supply of oil, rather than a falloff in demand, is the main culprit for tumbling energy prices.

That makes it more likely, they say, that developed economies will benefit from energy savings and remain healthy.

Another factor is the longterm nature of the price decline. Oil and gas prices have fallen for about 18 months.

Eventually, Johnson said, the persistence of the price declines will likely assure consumers that cheaper gas is here to stay and encourage more spending.

Michael Gapen, an economist at Barclay’s, forecasts that consumer spending will grow at a 3 percent annual rate in the first half of this year, lifting growth back to a decent 2 percent to 2.5 percent range. In the final three months of 2015, most analysts think U.S. growth slowed to

an annual rate below 1 percent.

Lower oil prices should also bolster Europe’s fragile recovery, according to economists at Citi. And many Asian countries are also optimistic about the long-term impact “The country has really benefited from the lower oil price,” Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif of Pakistan said at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “People have a sort of sigh of relief.”

“At the same time, the government also started losing money – revenue that had come from the import of oil,” he added.

“The drop in oil prices is good news for Korean consumers,” said Choi KyungHwan, South Korea’s former deputy prime minister.

Yet Choi, too, noted, in remarks at Davos, that falling oil prices reflect sluggish growth in emerging markets, which could hurt South Korea’s exports.

“A fall in oil prices is not just a blessing,” he said.

EPA regional chief resigns after Flint crisis

By JOHN FLESHER

The Associated Press TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. – A regional director of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency resigned Thursday in connection with the drinking water crisis in Flint, Michigan, and EPA chief Gina McCarthy issued an emergency order directing state and city officials to take actions to protect public health.

EPA said in a statement that Susan Hedman, head of the agency’s regional office in Chicago whose jurisdiction includes Michigan, was stepping down Feb. 1 so it could focus “solely on the restoration of Flint’s drinking water.”

High levels of lead have been detected in the impoverished city’s water since officials switched from the Detroit municipal system and began drawing from the Flint River as a cost-saving measure in April 2014. Some children’s blood has tested positive for lead, a potent neurotoxin linked to learning disabilities, lower IQ and behavioral problems.

While much of the blame has been directed at Gov. Rick Snyder and state officials, particularly the Department of Environmental Quality, some have faulted the EPA’s Region

Vehicles make their way through downtown Flint, Mich., on Thursday.

5 office for not acting more forcefully.

The order issued Thursday acknowledges the state notified EPA officials in April that Flint was not treating the river water with additives to prevent corrosion of pipes. It said Hedman and others in the regional EPA office voiced concern to state and city officials over the next few months. But it wasn’t until Oct. 16 that EPA established a task force to provide technical help – the day Flint switched back to the Detroit water system.

“Mismanagement has plagued the region for far too long and Ms. Hedman’s resignation is way overdue,” said

U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

The EPA said McCarthy had sent a memo to all staff members establishing a policy assessing and responding to “critical public health issues.”

The agency also released a letter from McCarthy to Snyder outlining terms of the emergency order, which said that city and state responses to the water crisis have failed.

The EPA “is deeply concerned by continuing delays and lack of transparency,” the letter said, describing the measures as “essential to ensuring the safe operation of Flint’s

drinking water system and the protection of public health.”

Among them: submitting plans for ensuring that Flint’s water has adequate treatment, including corrosion controls; making sure city personnel are qualified to operate the water system in a way that meets federal quality standards; and creating a website where citizens can get information.

The agency also said it would begin sampling and analyzing lead levels and would make the results public.

Snyder’s office released a statement saying the state would cooperate with EPA. “As Gov. Snyder said in his State of the State Address earlier this week, government at all levels failed the people of Flint. He accepted accountability for that, and noted that federal, state, and local leaders broke the trust of the people,” it said.

President Barack Obama said during a U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting Thursday that about $80 million in federal funding would be sent to Michigan next week – part of a nationwide investment in water system upgrades. It wasn’t immediately clear how much would go to Flint. Obama met earlier this week with Flint Mayor Karen Weaver.

Washington in bull’s-eye of potentially historic snowstorm

By BEN NUCKOLS and SETH BORENSTEIN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The forecast for a historic blizzard has been there for days, looming over the nation’s capital like the UFO from “Independence Day.” Projected snowfall totals have ticked steadily upward, to the point where the National Weather Service – known for its conservative predictions – said more than 2 feet of snow could land on Washington.

Residents and elected officials throughout the Eastern United States are heeding the warning.

States of emergency have

been declared in five states and the District of Columbia. Schools and government offices are being closed pre-emptively. Thousands of flights have been canceled.

Food and supplies are disappearing from grocery and hardware stores. College basketball games and concerts will have to wait.

“It’s going to be dangerous out there,” said Tonya Woods, 42, a Washington Metro station manager who lives in suburban Clinton, Maryland. “I say they should shut things down.”

On Thursday afternoon, she got her wish. The capital’s subway system announced that it will shut

down entirely tonight and remain closed through Sunday for the sake of employee and rider safety. Underground stations usually stay open during major snowstorms.

The director of the National Weather Service said all the ingredients have come together to create blizzards with brutally high winds, dangerous inland flooding, white-out conditions and even the possibility of thunder snow, when lightning strikes through a snowstorm.

The snowfall, expected to continue from tonight into Sunday, could easily cause more than $1 billion in damage and paralyze the Eastern

third of the nation, weather service director Louis Uccellini said.

“It does have the potential to be an extremely dangerous storm that can affect more than 50 million people,” Uccellini said at the service’s Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland.

Washington looks like the bull’s-eye of the blizzard, and New York City is just inside the slow-moving storm’s sharp northern edge, which means it is likely to see heavy accumulations, Uccellini said. Boston will probably get off easy this time, forecasters said.

Weather Prediction Center meteorologist Paul Ko-

cin, who with Uccellini wrote a two-volume textbook on northeast snowstorms, estimated more than 2 feet for Washington, a foot to 18 inches for Philadelphia and eight inches to a foot in New York.

The snowfall could be as heavy as 1 to 3 inches per hour, and continue for 24 hours or more, Kocin said.

That could put this snowstorm near the top 10 to hit the East, with the weekend timing and days of warning helping to limit deaths and damage, said Kocin, who compared it to “Snowmageddon,” the first of two storms that “wiped out” Washington in 2010 and dumped up to 30 inches of snow in places.

2-car accident in Sycamore

Officials: Former student left note

By BRETT ROWLAND

browland@shawmedia.com DeKALB – A former Northern Illinois University student whose charred remains were found on campus last month committed suicide, DeKalb County Coroner Dennis Miller said Thursday.

Hasan Gill, 25, died of “thermal injuries and smoke inhalation due to self-immolation,” Miller said.

“Based on the evidence, we believe this was self-induced,” the coroner said.

“The NIU police did a very thorough investigation.”

Toxicology results showed no signs of drugs or alcohol in Gill’s system.

Miller, who has been with the DeKalb County Coroner’s Officer for 32 years, said it was the only case of self-immolation he had ever seen in DeKalb County.

Shortly after the former student’s death, a family member said Gill would not have killed himself and that the body may have been burned to cover up a more serious crime.

Shahbaz Gill said he suspected murder.

NIU police found no evidence of foul play, university spokesman Joe King said.

“Everybody came to the same conclusion,” he said.

NIU police found a note left behind by Gill and had video evidence and eyewitness statements that Gill had purchased a gas and gasoline can shortly before he died on the morning of Dec. 29, King

National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255 said.

University officials said the body was found by a person near a path behind the WNIJ-WNIU broadcast studios, 801 N. First St., DeKalb.

Investigators found only one set of footprints in the fresh snow at the scene and no signs of a struggle, King said.

“This is a very sad and tragic case,” King said. “Our sympathies and condolences go to the Gill family.”

Gill had been an undergraduate in the university’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

He was last enrolled at NIU for the fall semester.

For academic reasons, he wasn’t enrolled for the spring semester this year, NIU officials previously told the Daily Chronicle.

OBITUARIES ROSEMARY GARCIA Associated Press By SEAN MURPHY (AP) OKLAHOMA CITY – A former police officer convicted of raping and sexually victimizing women while on his beat in a low-income Oklahoma City neighborhood was ordered Thursday to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Jurors had recommended that Daniel Holtzclaw be sentenced to 263 years in prison for preying on women in 2013 and 2014. District Judge Timothy Henderson agreed, said Holtzclaw will serve the terms consecutively and denied his request for an appeal bond.

Holtzclaw waived his right to remain in custody in the county jail for 10 days, instead opting to be taken directly to prison. Defense attorney Scott Adams said Holtzclaw will appeal.

“It is what it is,” Adams said. “It wasn’t a surprise.”

Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater had strong words for Holtzclaw, who was convicted last month on 18 counts, including four first-degree rape counts as well as forcible oral sodomy, sexual battery, procuring lewd exhibition and second-degree rape. Holtzclaw was acquitted on 18 other counts.

(AP Photo/Sue Ogrocki, Pool) Prater said after the sentencing. “If he was a true law enforcement officer he would have upheld his duty to protect those citizens rather than victimize them.”

The Associated Press highlighted Holtzclaw’s case in a yearlong examination of sexual misconduct by law officers, which found that about 1,000 officers in the U.S. lost their licenses for sex crimes or other sexual misconduct over a sixyear period.

Those figures are likely an undercount, because not every state has a process to ban problem officers from law enforcement. In states that do decertify officers, reporting requirements vary, but the AP’s findings suggest that sexual misconduct is among the most prevalent complaints against law officers.

During the monthlong trial, 13 women testified against Holtzclaw, and several said he stopped them, checked

them for outstanding warrants or drug paraphernalia, and then forced himself on them. All of the accusers were black. Holtzclaw is half-white, half-Japanese, and the son of a longtime Enid, Oklahoma, police officer.

Holtzclaw’s attorney had described the former college football star as a model officer whose attempts to help the drug addicts and prostitutes he came in contact with were distorted. Adams also at-

tacked the credibility of some of the women, who had arrest records and histories of drug abuse, noting that many didn’t come forward until police had already identified them as possible victims after launching their investigation.

Holtzclaw’s victims included a teenager and woman in her 50s. Three accusers delivered victim-impact statements Thursday, and at least one other was in the courtroom.

Jannie Ligons, whose complaint in June 2014 launched the investigation of Holtzclaw, said she has been under stress because of the case and the fear of being sexually assaulted again. “My daughter and sisters are frightful when a police car pulls up behind them,” Ligons said.

The Associated Press does not identify victims of sex crimes without their consent, but she was among two women who spoke publicly about the case and agreed to be identified.

Another woman, who was 17 at the time of the assault, said her “life has been upside down” since Holtzclaw raped her on the front porch of her mother’s home.

“It’s been hard on my family. It’s been hard on me,” she told the court. “Every time I see the police, I don’t even know what to do. I don’t ever go outside, and when I do I’m terrified.”

Several of Holtzclaw’s victims have filed civil lawsuits

U.S. announces plan for new Chicago school district visa rules for some Europeans announces layoffs

By ALICIA A. CALDWELL and BRADLEY KLAPPER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration tightened restrictions on European and other travelers who have visited Iran, Iraq, Syria or Sudan in the past five years, even as it said the new rules may not apply to those in certain occupations who have traveled for business.

The move quickly angered Republican lawmakers who accused the administration of circumventing the will of Congress.

The administration said Thursday that people who traveled to those countries as journalists, for work with humanitarian agencies or on behalf of international organizations, regional organizations and provincial or

local governments may still be eligible to visit the United States without first obtaining a visa. People who have traveled to Iran since July 14, 2015, or Iraq for “legitimate business-related purposes” can also apply to come to the United States under the visa waiver program.

The Homeland Security Department said waivers for some applicants to the Electronic System for Travel Authorization will be granted on a “case-by-case” basis.

Those travelers who are denied visa-free travel can still apply for visa through a U.S. embassy in their home country.

Americans may also end up affected by the new rule, if Europe introduces reciprocal action against U.S. citizens.

The Texas Republican

said the exemptions an nounced by the administration were already rejected

by Congress. He added that he and his colleagues “will respond and are reviewing our options.”

Citizens of 38 countries, mostly in Europe, are generally allowed to travel to the United States without applying for a visa. But they still have to submit biographical information to ESTA. New rules governing who can use the program approved by Congress in December are intended to block Europeans who have fought for the Islamic State group and are likely to commit jihadi violence from entering the United States.

The administration is not yet making changes to limits on visa-free travel for dual nationals.

CHICAGO – The head of the Chicago Public Schools said the district will lay off some of its central office staff this week as it deals with its precarious financial state.

Thursday’s announcement by district CEO Forrest Claypool came a day after top Illinois Republicans called for a state takeover of the financially troubled school district, which has a nearly $1 billion budget deficit that could lead to thousands of teacher layoffs and a strike.

Claypool did not say how many people, including administrative staff, would be laid off today, but teachers are not expected to be among them.

“We do not take these actions lightly, but as we ask others to do their part, we are doing everything in our power to put our fiscal house in order,”

Claypool said. “Every department at CPS will have to do more with less, as we streamline administrative functions in an effort to prevent cuts from reaching our classroom doors.”

Democrats, who hold big majorities in both chambers of the Illinois Legislature, blasted the plan almost immediately. Senate President John Cullerton called the idea a distraction from the state’s other problems.

CPS also is in the midst of contentious negotiations with the Chicago Teachers Union on a new contract.

Union members last month overwhelmingly authorized their leaders to call a strike if needed, which was an attempt to pressure the district to avoid layoffs or severe cuts. The union, which went on strike in 2012, said a walkout would still be months away.

STATE BRIEFS Legal advice sought on judges’ re-election tactics

CHICAGO – The State Board of Elections is referring a legal question about three St. Clair County judges’ campaign strategies to Attorney General Lisa Madigan.

Circuit judges John Baricevic, Robert Haida and Robert LeChien resigned in name only to avoid retention elections that require 60 percent approval rather than a simple majority.

The Belleville News-Democrat reported the board deadlocked in a 4-4 vote Wednesday on whether to accept a hearing officer’s recommendation to reject a challenge from Belleville City Clerk Dallas Cook, a Republican candidate for St. Clair County circuit clerk.

The three sitting judges are Democrats.

The board then voted 6-2 to seek a legal opinion from the state’s top prosecutor.

Cook said he plans to press his complaint at the circuit court level in Cook or Sangamon counties.

Kerry: Iran sanctions relief likely to go to terrorists

By MATTHEW LEE

The Associated Press DAVOS, Switzerland – It’s likely that some of the billions of dollars in sanctions relief granted to Iran under a landmark nuclear deal will go to groups deemed to be terrorists, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Thursday. But, he added, he doesn’t believe Iran will be able to use the freed-up cash to boost funding of malign activities if it is serious about revamping its economy.

Kerry said on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum the U.S. or others can do little to prevent the now-unfrozen assets from getting into the hands of the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps or “other entities” that Iran has supported in the past. But since nuclear-related sanctions were lifted on Iran last weekend, Kerry said, there is no evidence yet to suggest such transfers have occurred.

“I think that some of it will end up in the hands of the IRGC or other entities, some of which are labeled terrorists,” he told CNBC television

in an interview. “You know, to some degree, I’m not going to sit here and tell you that every component of that can be prevented. But I can tell you this: Right now, we are not seeing the early delivery of funds going to that kind of endeavor at this point in time.”

In fact, Kerry later told a small group of reporters he understands the Revolutionary Guards are “already complaining that they are not getting the money.” And he said there will be consequences if Iran is caught using the money to support terrorism.

“If we catch them funding terrorism, they’re going to have a problem in the U.S. Congress and other people, obviously,” he said.

“Whatever amount may flow to them, I am just trying to be honest, I can’t tell people that, ‘No, some amount might not,’ but we don’t believe that that is what has made the difference in the activities of Iran in the region,” he said.

“It is not money-based, and a whole lot of money isn’t going to make a difference in a

Zarif calls new U.S. sanctions over ballistic missile testing ‘illegal,’ justifies program as Iran’s self-defense. whole lot of places.”

Kerry also said the administration believes the amount of money that might flow to terrorist groups will be limited because “the demands of Iran and of the Rouhani administration and of the supreme leader for development in their country are such that there is no way they can suc-

ceed in doing what they want to do if they are very busy funding a lot of terrorism and if they are putting money into that kind of enterprise and not into things they need to do to fund their economy.”

In occasionally mocking tones, a group of Republican senators in Washington chided Kerry, telling reporters it

was always clear to them that Iran would use its unfrozen assets to finance terrorism.

Led by Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., the senators also said they plan to introduce legislation to impose tougher sanctions against Iran for conducting ballistic missile tests in violation of a U.N. resolution. They called the punishments proposed by the Obama administration for the testing “tepid and weak.”

“Talk about stating the obvious. I mean, c’mon,” Ayotte said of Kerry’s remarks.

“It’s something we’ve all known from the beginning.

(Iran) was supporting terrorism when their economy was crippled. They were choosing to put their money into guns, not butter, for their citizens before they had this economic relief.

“To have them actually now say, ‘Well, we think some of this might go to terrorism.’

Duh. I mean, really? It’s been so obvious all along,” she said.

Kerry repeated the Obama administration’s argument that many critics of the Iran

deal are inflating the amount of money that Iran now has access to. He said estimates of $100 billion to $150 billion are incorrect – $55 billion is more accurate, he said – because large chunks of that money is obligated to satisfy foreign debt.

In addition, he said Iran has more than $500 billion in infrastructure and development needs and must invest at least $100 billion to modernize its energy sector.

Earlier Thursday, Kerry rejected Iranian criticism of Washington’s use of economic sanctions, saying they are imposed when appropriate.

Kerry said U.S. penalties against Iran and other nations have been “used judiciously and effectively” and will continue to be used in the future.

“We have made it very clear that we use sanctions when we think they are appropriate in order to counter behavior that we believe has broken the law or has challenged the United Nations Security Council or threatened the United States and we stand by our sanctions,” Kerry told reporters.

U.K. judge rules Putin ‘probably approved’ killing of ex-KGB agent

A Boerboel is introduced Thursday at a news conference as one of seven breeds which will compete for the first time at next month’s Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in New York.

New at Westminster dog show: 7 breeds and obedience contest The ASSOCIATED PRESS

the Russian state was “a blatant and unacceptable breach of the most fundamental tenets of international law and of civilized behavior.”

Moscow has always strongly denied being involved in Litvinenko’s death and accused Britain of conducting a secretive and politically motivated inquiry.

Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that the “quasi-investigation” would “further poison the atmosphere of our bilateral relations.”

He said the report “cannot be accepted by us as a verdict.”

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zhakarova said the British inquiry was neither public nor transparent, saying it had turned into a “shadow puppet theater.”

“There was one goal from the beginning: slander Russia and slander its officials,” she told reporters in Moscow.

A Lagotto Romagnolo is introduced Thursday at a news conference in New York as one of seven breeds which will compete for the first time at next month’s Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. a distinctive coat of long, matted “flocks.” The lagotto Romagnolo (lah-GAHT’toh roh-mahn-YOH’-loh ) is a truffle hunter and affectionate family dog; and the Cirneco dell’Etna (cheerNAY’-koh dehl EHT’-nah), a sleek, keen rabbit-hunting hound believed to have been brought from Egypt to Sicily more than 2,500 years ago.

The berger Picard (behrZHAY’ PEEK’-ahr) hails from France, but Americans might recognize the shaggy, highly active breed from the 2005 movie “Because of Winn-Dixie.”

The miniature American shepherd, developed in California in the 1960s, resembles an Australian shepherd and is known for versatility.

The eager-to-please Spanish water dog also has played multiple roles, herding livestock and helping fishermen.

Dog breeding has drawn fire from animal-rights advocates who say it prioritizes looks over love of animals and fuels puppy mills; the group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has protested the Westminster show.

Purebred advocates counter that responsible breeding helps track dog health traits and helps owners predict their pets’ characteristics and make a lasting match.

Meanwhile, Westminster has given entree to mixed breeds by adding an agility competition in 2014 and the obedience event this year; both are open to nonpurebreds. (The traditional judging hasn’t featured mixes since the 1800s.)

The obedience competition didn’t draw any mixes, but 26 are entered in the agility contest, up from 17 last year.

Among them is Dobby, a corgi-terrier-Australian Kelpie mix that comforts patients at the New Jersey dental office where his owner, Stefanie Freundlich, works.

“He’s just an all-around great dog,” she said. “It doesn’t matter what breed he is.”

After the Feb. 13 agility competition, the rest of the show unfolds Feb. 15 and 16, with high-level judging televised on CBNC Feb. 15 and on USA Feb. 16.

NEW YORK – A bumper crop of seven new dog breeds will get a shot at being best in show at the Westminster Kennel Club competition next month, while a new obedience contest makes more room for mixed-breed dogs at the nation’s premier canine competition.

Drawing more than 3,000 dogs from all 50 U.S. states, the 139-year-old event still features primped pooches parading before a Madison Square Garden crowd.

But it also is evolving to reflect both a growing roster of recognized breeds and rising interest in dog sports beyond the traditional breed judging.

This year’s newcomer breeds are the most added in any one year since at least 2000, organizers said.

“To be in the first (Westminster) show that they’re able to compete in – it’s quite an honor,” Eileen Weatherbee said as her dog Oblio, set to be one of the first Boerboels to compete, sprawled by her side after a news conference Thursday.

Breeds join the pack as fanciers seek and then earn recognition from the American Kennel Club; criteria include having several hundred dogs of the breed nationwide.

Bred to guard farms in South Africa, the Boerboel (prounouced BUHR’-buhl) is powerful and imposing.

But 150-pound Oblio also happens to be “a happy-golucky, loving-life dog” with a jokester streak and a hankering for banana pudding, said Weatherbee, of Chesapeake, Virginia.

Three Italian breeds also are making their debut.

The Bergamasco is an outgoing Alpine sheepdog with

LONDON – Almost a decade after former KGB officer Alexander Litvinenko lay dying in a London hospital bed, a British judge has concluded who poisoned him: two Russian men, acting at the behest of Russia’s security services, probably with approval from President Vladimir Putin.

That finding prompted sharp exchanges Thursday between London and Moscow, and a diplomatic dilemma for both countries. With Russia and the West inching closer together after years of strain, neither side wants a new feud – even over a state-sanctioned murder on British soil.

Judge Robert Owen, who led the public inquiry into the killing, said he was certain that two Russians with links to the security services had given Litvinenko green tea containing a fatal dose of radioactive polonium-210 during

a meeting at a London hotel.

He said there was a “strong probability” that Russia’s FSB, the successor to the Soviet Union’s KGB spy agency, directed the killing and that the operation was “probably approved” by Putin, then as now the president of Russia.

Before he died, Litvinenko accused Putin of ordering his killing, but Owen’s report is the first public official statement linking the Russian president to the crime, and it sent a chilling jolt through U.K.-Russia relations.

British Prime Minister David Cameron said the evidence in the report of “state-sponsored” killing was “absolutely appalling.”

Britain summoned the Russian ambassador for a dressing-down and imposed an asset freeze on the two main suspects: Andrei Lugovoi, now a Russian lawmaker, and Dmitry Kovtun.

Home Secretary Theresa May said the involvement of

Give regional primaries a try

Trump and the myth of superiority There are many reasons to recommend Elizabeth Strout’s new novel, “My Name Is Lucy Barton,” but this is not a book review, so I offer this single, searing paragraph: “I have said before: It interests me how we find ways to feel superior to another person, another group of people. It happens everywhere, and all the time. Whatever we call it, I think it’s the lowest part of who we are, this need to find someone else to put down.”

Could there be a more perfect description of that failed human strategy?

If we feel good about ourselves only by comparison, we are forever on the hunt, setting our sights on innocent others so that we can stomach who we’ve become.

“So what?” one might ask. If this game of mental gymnastics is an interior job – if we keep our darkest motives to ourselves – what harm comes of this way of thinking?

Well, there’s this: When storing our insecurities, the mind is the worst place to stock the shelves. Eventually, the monster festering and growing in the dark demands its freedom – or, in the case of the Republican presidential race, an audience.

This week Sarah Palin, who refuses to go away, endorsed Donald Trump, who insists he is here to stay. The public response was rapid and, many would say, often hilarious.

Satirist Andy Borowitz wrote a piece for The New Yorker titled “Palin Endorsement Widens Trump Lead Among Idiots.” The New York Daily News’ cover headline: “I’M WITH STUPID! Hate minds think alike: Palin endorses Trump.”

A few months ago, I would have snickered along and maybe shared links to this coverage on Facebook, but these past few months of relentless Trump coverage have

VIEWS Connie Schultz changed me. To laugh is to play along with this notion of my superiority, and I don’t like that version of myself. I was raised to be better than this.

Some of Trump’s most ardent supporters – white, working-class males who fear they are on the brink of extinction – are the same Americans who would suffer most if he were the Republican nominee and could continue this farce of a campaign to Election Day. These are the people I come from. I have reached the point where I am more worried for them than embarrassed by their choice of candidate. I’m not proud of either sentiment.

It is perhaps the most depressing fact of this current primary campaign that Donald Trump’s extremism – so much of which swirls around his assertions of superiority – has fueled his momentum. Every speech is one long brag-fest about his fictional superiority, not just to other candidates but also to a growing list of entire groups of people: Mexicans and Muslims, women and black people – and now members of the media, too, who dare to defy his coverage directives. He mocks them, all of them. The more he bellows and belittles, the louder his crowds roar.

And now he has been joined by Sarah Palin, who resigned her job as Alaska’s governor to pursue her hobby of willfully uninformed trolling in the arena of public discourse. During her endorsement speech for Donald Trump, she made up a new word – “squirmishes” – to describe the complexities

of the violence in the Middle East: “And you quit footing the bill for these nations who are oil-rich. We’re paying for some of their squirmishes that have been going on for centuries, where they’re fighting each other and yelling ‘Allahu akbar,’ calling jihad on each other’s heads forever and ever.

Like I’ve said before, let them duke it out and let Allah sort it out.”

And this, comparing Trump to President Barack Obama: “And he, who would negotiate deals, kind of with the skills of a community organizer maybe organizing a neighborhood tea, well, he deciding that, ‘No, America would apologize as part of the deal,’ as the enemy sends a message to the rest of the world that they capture and we kowtow, and we apologize, and then, we bend over and say, ‘Thank you, enemy.’”

Thanks (I think) to The New York Times’ Michael Barbaro for transcribing those chunks of Palin’s ranting. Most major news organizations in the country sent out breaking news alerts when she announced that she was endorsing Trump. Think about that, but whatever you do, don’t dwell on it. No good comes of it, I can tell you.

There was a time when too many of us saw Trump’s climb in the polls as so temporary, and evidence of our superiority.

Look how stupid those people are, we said, chuckling.

Who’s laughing now?

The problem with attacking America’s ‘billionaire’ class

By CHARLES LANE

The Washington Post

Thirty-six years ago, a local gadfly’s column in a free Vermont weekly argued passionately for “democratic control” of television, so as to rid the industry of corporate advertisers who believe that “people should be treated as morons and bombarded over and over again with the same simple phrases and ideas.”

Today, that gadfly, Bernie Sanders, is a U.S. senator, and he’s gaining traction as a challenger to Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination – by bombarding people over and over again with the same simple phrases and ideas.

For the Bern, no generalization is too sweeping: “The business model of Wall Street is fraud.” “Make college tuition-free and debt-free.” “Health care must be recognized as a right, not a privilege.” Then there’s “the billionaire class,” as in, We need people “to stand up to the billionaire class.”

Forbes magazine reports that there were 536 billionaires in the United States in 2015, but the notion that they constitute a “class,” in the sense of an economically self-interested group that acts as a political unit, is a figment of Sanders’s ideology, or demonology.

Obviously, Sanders is trying to conjure the evil specter of the Koch brothers, Charles

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

and David, who stand accused of using their combined net worth of $80 billion to impose a right-wing agenda through super PACs and other nontransparent instruments of political control.

But what are we to make of Warren Buffett (2015 net worth, per Forbes: $62 billion)?

No doubt his endorsement of Clinton over Sanders for 2016 did not endear him to the latter. Still, Buffett was an early backer of Barack Obama’s presidential candidacy, and he continues to commit class treason by advocating higher income taxes for top earners.

George Soros bankrolls left-wing organizations worldwide; the marijuana- legalization movement received huge amounts of his money, and that of the late Peter Lewis, another billionaire. Penny Pritzker, Obama’s secretary of commerce, was last seen strolling the streets of Havana, promoting U.S. investment in communist Cuba.

Former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg wrote a big check to the Sierra Club’s “Beyond Coal” campaign on climate change, a cause Sanders favors – although Bloomberg is also spending a ton to promote gun control, so maybe Sanders holds that against him.

Reviewing this history, you could almost get the impression billionaires have done more to advance progressive causes than

Bernie Sanders has.

Seattle’s Nick Hanauer says that he’s funding the higher-minimum-wage movement and other anti-inequality causes to “preempt the revolutionaries and crazies” who would otherwise lead an uprising by the have-nots; this, he said, will enable him and his fellow plutocrats to “escape with our lives” and “get even richer.”

Or maybe the mundane reality is that what motivates a lot of billionaires are their own pet notions and personal causes – pot for Soros, Israel for Sheldon Adelson – not some monolithic class interest.

Plutocrats’ spending on candidates and elections is huge and influential, but not nearly as decisive, or as unidirectional, as Sanders would have it. Sometimes, in fact, the results billionaires get confirm that old saw about a fool and his money.

Trump still leads the pack, unaided by money from any billionaire but himself.

What propels him is ego, attitude and a relentless populist message – which, in its nuance-free bashing of Social Security “cuts,” trade agreements and political money, often sounds copied from Sanders.

With the calendar approaching February in a presidential election year, all eyes turn toward Iowa with its first-in-the-nation caucuses scheduled for Feb. 1 – followed in short order by the New Hampshire primary Feb. 9.

Presidential candidates certainly are spending a lot of time in the Hawkeye State these days.

Last week, Iowans met and listened to the likes of Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Jeb Bush, Mike Huckabee, Carly Fiorina and Rick Santorum at various campaign stops and rallies.

This follows months and months of presidential hopefuls trekking across the state, auditioning before Iowans for the most powerful job in the world.

The Iowa caucus results historically have narrowed the field of candidates. By the time the Illinois primary takes place March 15, the field will certainly have shrunk.

With fewer candidates to choose from, Illinoisans won’t have had the opportunity to vet all the hopefuls themselves. We’ll see only the survivors who have made it through the first six weeks of the primary season.

It’s not that we have anything against Iowa or New Hampshire, but who appointed them to always have the first crack at choosing presidential candidates, anyway?

Well, they appointed themselves, by scheduling their events so very early in the game. When other states tried to get in on the act eight years ago by scheduling earlier primaries (remember Illinois’ early primary on Feb. 5, 2008?), Iowa and New Hampshire simply moved their election events even earlier, to early January.

So much for letting other states go first for a change.

Every four years, when confronted by the haphazard system run by the states, we are reminded of the late U.S. Sen. Alan J. Dixon’s proposal, made in the 1980s, to create a system of federal regional primaries.

Dixon, a moderate Democrat from Illinois, proposed the country be divided into four or five regions, and the luck of the draw would determine the order in which regional primaries would occur, starting in March and ending in June or July.

With this system, each area of the country would have an equal shot at being first. Each area of the country would have the opportunity to vet the candidates early in the process.

And candidates should be able to reduce travel costs, lessen the physical toll on themselves and improve other efficiencies by campaigning in one region at a time.

Dixon’s regional primary bill never caught on, nor did bipartisan efforts as late as 2007 to pass a Regional Presidential Primary and Caucus Act. That doesn’t mean, however, attempts should be abandoned to bring greater fairness, balance and sanity to the system.

ANOTHER VIEW

EITC: A refreshing point of agreement President Barack Obama did not focus his final State of the Union address on an agenda for the next – and last – year of his presidency, tacitly indicating that he does not expect to make much headway as a lame duck facing a hostile Congress in an election year.

But the president still noted the flurry of legislative compromise at the end of last year, which kept the government open and provided long-term infrastructure funding.

Given the perpetual partisan rancor about the size of the federal safety net, it may be surprising that there is a significant point of agreement between policy minds in both parties on expanding a major anti-poverty program. The success and elegance of the earned-income tax credit accomplish this feat. The credit tops up wages for low-income working people, pulling millions out of poverty every year. But its design – increasing the subsidy with wages before flatlining and then tapering off – encourages people to enter the labor force and work more once they are in it. As a means of improving conditions for the working poor, it is much better targeted than, say, increasing the minimum wage, which helps teenagers from affluent families as much as desperate parents trying to feed and house their children.

There are some questions about better preventing fraudulent EITC claims, but the big problem with the policy is that it is too stingy. It focuses on helping poor people with children, when it should serve as a more holistic response to poverty in the United States, because it helps people and promotes work all at once. At the poverty summit House Speaker Paul Ryan moderated this month, moreover, other Republicans expressed interest in making EITC reform happen.

So why hasn’t it yet? The sticking point has been how to pay for such an expansion, which would cost about $6 billion per year. In the past, Obama has proposed raising taxes a bit on certain wealthy people, whereas Ryan has favored taking the money out of other anti-poverty programs he insists are ineffective. For two men of goodwill, this is a bridgeable divide. Money could be raised by mixing the two approaches, or from somewhere else entirely: Commentator Jonathan Chait has suggested linking EITC expansion with adopting the so-called chained CPI, a money saving reform to Social Security that would change the way the government calculates cost-of-living adjustments.

The potential for compromise is obvious. Election year or no, Ryan should take the president up on his offer.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

LIGHTNING 2, BLACKHAWKS 1

Lightning end Hawks’ 12-game streak

By FRED GOODALL

The Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla. – Anton Stralman insisted the surging Tampa Bay Lightning didn’t derive any extra satisfaction out of beating the Blackhawks to end a franchise-record 12game winning streak for the defending Stanley Cup champions.

“No, not really,” the veteran defenseman said after the Lightning extended a roll of their own to a season-best seven games with a 2-1 victory Thursday night. “It’s all about our winning streak now.”

Stralman’s sixth goal of the season erased an early deficit, and Nikita Kucherov snapped a second-period tie with his 20th goal for the Lightning, who will try to match the longest winning streak in club history Saturday night at Florida.

“This might have been our best game all season. We played for 60 minutes,” Stralman said. “This is the way we want to play, obviously. This is how we can play.”

Ben Bishop had 17 saves as the Hawks were held to a season-low 18 shots. Corey Crawford stopped 31 shots to keep

the Hawks in the game, but it wasn’t enough to extend a career-best nine-game winning streak for the Hawks’ goaltender.

“They were definitely the better team. We didn’t generate much. We didn’t get much traffic and pucks to the net and didn’t get the offensive zone time we like,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said.

“We had a few shifts, but they were few and far between.”

The victory gave Tampa Bay a split of the season series with the Hawks, who won last year’s Stanley Cup final against the Lightning in six

games.

“That was a fun game. Obviously it brought back memories of last year,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. “They are a really good team. We played extremely well to beat them. ... One streak was ending tonight, and I’m glad it’s theirs.”

Stralman scored in the first period, and Victor Hedman had two assists for Tampa Bay. Artem Anisimov scored the Hawks’ lone goal in the opening minute of the game.

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Garbutt dealt to Ducks

GIRLS BASKETBALL: SYCAMORE 57, LaSALLE-PERU 37

Cap space added

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com TAMPA, Fla. – The Blackhawks added some young skill to their roster Thursday by trading right winger Ryan Garbutt to the Anaheim Ducks for left winger Jiri Sekac.

Perhaps more importantly, they added some salary-cap flexibility.

The trade is essentially cap neutral for the Hawks – Sekac’s cap hit of $925,000 is only $25,000 more than Garbutt’s – but Sekac is in the last year of his contract, while G a r b u t t was signed through next year. With the cap situ- Ryan Garbutt ation uncertain because of a free-falling Canadian dollar, the Hawks are trying to free up as much space as pos- Jiri Sekac sible.

The Hawks now have traded both players acquired in the Patrick Sharp trade, having sent Trevor Daley to Pittsburgh for Rob Scuderi.

Both moves had cap implications.

“I think there’s business decisions right now in a lot of things we do,” coach Joel Quenneville said. “And there’s hockey decisions. …

It’s probably both ways. It’ll be a good opportunity for both guys to get a look and more opportunity to play.”

Sekac was unable to make it to Tampa in time for Thursday’s game but could play Friday against the Florida Panthers. The 23-year-old has one goal and two assists in 22 games for Anaheim this season after being acquired from Montreal at the trade deadline last season. He combined for nine goals and 14 assists in 69 games with the Canadiens and Ducks as a rookie.

Garbutt had two goals and four assists in 43 games with the Hawks.

Wakey, wakey: The Hawks could have used Sekac against the Lightning. Richard Panik overslept and was late for practice. He was scratched as punishment (he skated on his own after the morning skate). Without Garbutt and Sekac, the Hawks dressed all seven defensemen.

Quenneville clearly was not pleased but didn’t want to pass judgment on Panik just yet.

“It’s too fresh right now to really assess it,” he said.

Spartans top LaSalle-Peru

Sycamore’s work on pass efficiency, shot selection pays off

By JOHN BUTKUS

SYCAMORE – The Sycamore girls basketball team has been working on its pass efficiency and shot selection over the past few weeks of the season, and that work was the difference Thursday as the Spartans beat LaSalle-Peru, 57-37.

The Spartans (14-4 overall, 6-1 Northern Illinois Big 12) ran an efficient offense against the Lady Cavaliers (11-10, 4-3) that included making all the right passes and taking the best shot available – not settling for the first look that they saw. According to Sycamore coach Brett Goff, that has been something his team has struggled to do in parts of this season.

“On the offensive end, passing is the

most overlooked skill,” Goff said. “A good pass leads to a good shot. Sometimes we aren’t the best passing team, and that’s something that we really work on and have gotten better at. We beat a quality team tonight, and it’s important for us to protect our home court against a conference team.”

Sycamore was crisp on offense throughout the game, but LaSalle-Peru still challenged the Spartans with its size in the paint. Well aware of the Lady Cavaliers’ big presence in the paint, the Spartans spread the ball around the floor and worked the ball behind the 3-point line until they found their shots. Guards Kate Majerus, Lauren Goff and Valerie Hunt each converted two shots from

SPORTS BRIEFS

Sox, reliever Albers agree to 1-year, $2.25M deal

CHICAGO – The White Sox and reliever Matt Albers have agreed to a one-year contract that guarantees $2.25 million and includes a club option for 2017.

The 33-year-old right-hander will receive $2 million next season. The Sox hold a $3 million option for 2017 with a $250,000 buyout under the terms of the deal announced Thursday.

Albers made the Sox’s Opening Day roster after being invited to spring training last season and went 2-0 with a 1.21 ERA in 30 appearances. He was on the disabled list from April 20 to July 15 with a broken right pinky finger.

Albers is 27-31 with a 4.20 ERA over 10 seasons with Houston (2006-07, ’14), Baltimore (2008-10), Boston (2011-12), Arizona (2012), Cleveland (2013) and the Sox.

Hardegree follows Gase; Hurtt stays with Bears

The Bears lost one assistant to Adam Gase’s staff in Miami but also kept one this week.

Bo Hardegree will be the Dolphins’ quarterbacks coach, the team announced Wednesday.

Hardegree was an offensive assistant for the Bears in 2015 working under Gase. In 2014, Hardegree worked with Gase in Denver as the Broncos’ offensive quality control coach.

When Gase was originally hired, Fox Sports reported that he would look to bring Clint Hurtt to Miami to coach the defensive line, but Thayer Evans of Sports Illustrated reported Thursday that the Bears blocked that move.

Hurtt was the Bears’ outside linebackers coach last year, working with Pernell McPhee and helping Lamarr Houston and Willie Young make the successful transition from defensive end, as the two combined for 14.5 sacks at the new position while also coming off injuries. He was the one holdover from the previous defensive coaching staff.

Teams are allowed to block assistant coaches from leaving for a job other than head coach.

The Bears have yet to name a new quarterbacks coach to replace Dowell Loggains, who was promoted to offensive coordinator to replace Gase. Wide receivers coach Mike Groh is considered an in-house candidate.

AFC CHAMPIONSHIP: PATRIOTS AT BRONCOS, 2:05 P.M. SUNDAY, CBS, AM-670

Pats, Broncos play mind games

By PAT GRAHAM

The Associated Press ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Gronk pushes off. Brady whines.

If it’s AFC championship week, somebody must be complaining about the New England Patriots.

This time around, it’s the Denver Broncos, who have delivered a few hits through the media – both traditional and social – in a not-so-subtle attempt to get inside the heads of the Patriots and, quite possibly, the officials who will call Sunday’s game.

The biggest pokes have, not surprisingly, been directed at Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, with the Broncos suggesting he likes to push off and how it’s really best to tackle him by going after his delicate knees. Gronk didn’t appreciate that and responded in R-rated fashion on Twitter.

Tom Brady took some shots, too, labeled a crybaby for complaining to refs.

“Just talk. Just talk,” Broncos tight end Vernon Davis said. “I don’t think they would say anything to target anyone on the Patriots side.”

These early week doses of trash talk have calmed down now that the real preparation has begun. Still, they’ve made for a decent story line to go beside the hundreds of different takes on Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning, Part 17.

The highlights: • Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall weighed in on Gronkowski, saying he uses his big frame to push off.

• Defensive lineman Antonio Smith didn’t hold back on Brady with his comments: “I’ve never seen any quarterback look to the referee right after he gets sacked more than Brady. Every time he gets sacked he looks at the ref like, ‘You see him sack me?’”

But the comment that

EASTERN CONFERENCE

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady faces reporters before practice Thursday in Foxborough, Mass.

The Patriots will play the Broncos in the AFC Championship game Sunday in Denver. caused Gronk to throw a flag was mention by several Broncos of going after his knees, since he’s so hard to bring down. Gronkowski responded with a tweet that let his feelings be known in a comical, yet not exactly fit for print sort of way. He added a few emoji for good measure.

“I was just having a little fun with it, hoping to get a little laugh, which I think it did,” Gronkowski said. “It’s just all fun and games with that.”

Still, linebacker Danny Trevathan didn’t exactly find Gronkowski’s tweet endearing. He took it as more of a stab at his defense.

Trevathan insisted the banter stokes the fire.

“I’m glad they feel confident in themselves. I think people are looking for attention,” Trevathan said. “It’s not my job to give it to them until

Sunday. My job is to shut them down when they come here, keep his mouth closed as much as I can.”

Broncos defensive back Bradley Roby finds all the back-and-forth highly entertaining. It’s juicy stuff.

“We’re not worried about the trash talking, just makes it more exciting,” Roby said.

“Brings more attention to the game.”

As for the assertion that Brady lobbies more than most for penalties with the officials, well, the iconic QB took the high road. He said he’s “not sure” if he works the referees more than other quarterbacks around the league.

“If the refs want to throw the flag, I love when they throw flags on the defenders, absolutely,” Brady said. “It advances our team, so that’s just part of football.”

So is trying to get under a team’s skin. Davis experienced the same sort of thing when he was with San Francisco and preparing to face rival Seattle.

“Everyone is talking – you can say this, you can say that – but at the end of the day, actions speak louder than words,” Davis said. “When it comes to the talking, I stay away from it.”

Hard to ignore social media barbs, however. Unless, of course, you’re offensive lineman Ryan Harris.

“I don’t even know what Twitter is. What’s Twitter?”

Harris deadpanned. “Whoever is going to win this game, it’s going to be decided on the field this Sunday, not on some social media site, or some quotation that may or may not have been taken out of context.”

Crawford: It’s just some things didn’t go for us • HAWKS

Continued from page B1 “It’s just one of those games, I guess,” Crawford said, adding that the Hawks didn’t play that poorly. “We worked hard.

It’s just some things didn’t go for us. ... That happens sometimes.”

The Hawks went 0 for 3 on the power play and were held to the lowest shot total since taking 19 during a 2-1 overtime loss at Calgary on Nov. 20.

Tampa Bay, meanwhile, has its longest winning streak since the 2003-04 season that ended with the team winning its only Stanley Cup title. The Hawks won the first meeting between the teams this season, 1-0 on Jonathan Toews’ goal 17 seconds into overtime.

This one started like it might be the Hawks’ night again.

Anisimov scored off a backhand pass from Patrick Kane just 43 seconds into the game, but the Hawks managed just three shots the remainder of the opening period – two of them in the final 5 seconds.

Kucherov’s power play goal snapped a 1-1 tie with 3:11 left in the second period. It came after the Hawks successfully killed Kane’s penalty for high-sticking, only to give the Lightning another opportunity when their star was called for interference as he exited the penalty box and contacted the puck before getting both skates on the ice.

The go-ahead goal was the 20th goal of the season for Kucherov, tied with Steven Stamkos for the team lead. He has four in his last three games.

Both teams made news earlier in the day, with the Hawks trading Ryan Garbutt to Anaheim in exchange for Jiri Sekac and Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman addressing the suspension of disgruntled forward Jonathan Drouin, who failed to report for a minor league game the previous night.

Drouin, the third overall pick in the 2013, has asked to be traded. He’s been slowed by

Yzerman said there has been significant interest in Drouin, but that no deal was imminent.

The GM added that he can’t answer yet if the current situation

will impact offers from other teams.

“Anything is possible,” Yzerman said. “I told Jonathan and his agent that we will trade him if and when we can make a deal that’s good for the Tampa Bay Lightning.”

Carver leads Barbs girls hoops past hubs DAILY CHRONICLE Jania Carver scored 13 points to lead the DeKalb Girls basketball team to a 58-49 win Thursday at Rochelle.

“She’s been playing well,” coach Heath Kent said of Carver, the only Barb to

shoot above 50 percent in a loss Monday to Belvidere North in which she was the second-leading scorer with 8. “She’s getting more confidence and playing better. She was aggressive tonight in getting to the basket and finishing. And she was lights out on defense against (the Hubs’

top player).”

Raquel Mills added 11 for the Barbs (6-15 overall, 3-5 Northern Illinois Big 12). A’Jah Davis had 10 but hurt her knee and had to leave the game. She had been putting up a string of double-doubles lately. Kent said he would know more about

the severity of the injury today.

On her Twitter account, Davis said he was fine and thought it was just a bruise.

4 ADVICE & PUZZLES • Friday, January 22, 2016 • Section B • Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com

Travelers want to be greeted by best friend at trip’s end Dear Abby: We recently lost our dog, a 13-year-old springer spaniel, to old age. His passing has left a huge hole in our hearts and lives. We miss his companionship, his personality and the structure that caring for him brought to our lives. We’re 51 and 60, own our home and are financially secure.

Some of our friends are discouraging us from adopting another dog. They say we travel too much. Last year we spent 12 weeks away from home. When we travel, we hire a trusted pet sitter to move into the house and attend to all our dog’s needs. Our pet always seemed happy and healthy when we returned.

I anticipate that we will

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips continue to travel a similar amount in the future, but I’m not sure we will enjoy coming home to a house that has no dog to welcome us back. Abby, should a retired couple who travels adopt a dog? – Pet Lov-

er in Mexico Dear Pet Lover: At ages 51

and 60, if you and your husband are in good health, I see no reason why you shouldn’t adopt another dog if you wish.

Consider adopting one that is no longer a puppy. Shelters and rescue organizations are good places to adopt an older

dog that needs a loving home.

Dear Abby: My neighbor complains of cars honking at 8 in the morning. I have done this only three times when I have taken my son to school.

I wait in the car for him, but if he’s late by a couple of minutes, I’ll honk.

The neighbors think it’s rude because they have a 3-year-old who’s asleep at that time. Do I confront them?

What do you suggest? – On A

Schedule In California Dear On A Schedule: Knowing

it will awaken your neighbor’s child, refrain from honking the horn. If you need your son to hurry up, use your cellphone and call the house. Or, turn your engine off, lock the car and go inside and get him.

Dear Abby: My friend of 25 years, “Violet,” moved back to town a few months ago after living far away for the last 10 years. Whereas we’ve always called and confided in each other often, now that she’s here, I rarely see her, never talk with her and receive polite but curt refusals to do anything together.

I know the move was stressful for her, and I suspect the problem is more about her than me. But I am really hurt, and I miss her. My last request to get together and talk was met with, “I’m only doing what I feel I can enjoy and manage.”

It seems like that doesn’t include our friendship.

Should I simply leave my old friend alone, or is there

something you can suggest? –

Just Plain Sad Dear Sad: Write Violet a

short, sweet note. Tell her that you care about her, have always treasured her friendship and hope it will continue. Let her know that when she feels like talking, you will be there for her. It’s all you can do.

After that, the ball will be in her court and you should not sit by the phone waiting for a call. Go on with your life and your other friendships as before. If she responds, terrific.

If not, it will be her loss. Do not make it yours.

Right kind of chewing gum lowers risk of tooth decay Dear Dr. K: Why do dentists recommend chewing gum?

Doesn’t gum cause cavities?

Dear Reader: Dentists don’t recommend just any chewing gum. They recommend sugar-free gum, specifically gum that contains xylitol, a sugar-free, no-calorie sweetener made from the bark of birch trees. It may actually lower your risk of tooth decay and cavities by interfering with the growth of harmful mouth bacteria.

Bacteria in your mouth eat sugar or starch that is found in the foods and beverages you consume. Fueled by this energy, they grow, multiply and form plaque. That’s the bacteria-laden film that covers your teeth between brushings.

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff Bacteria eating sugar and starch give off acidic waste that attacks tooth enamel.

This acid in the plaque sets the stage for tooth decay, cavities and gum disease.

Bacteria in the mouth can’t digest xylitol. That’s why this sweetener inhibits the growth of mouth bacteria and reduces the production of plaque and destructive acids. Xylitol also may prevent the production of a substance that helps plaque bacteria stick to teeth.

University of Minnesota researchers studied the effects of chewing gum on mouth

bacteria. They asked one group of volunteers to chew gum sweetened with xylitol for five minutes after each meal.

Another group chewed a gum with sorbitol, another sugar-free sweetener.

A third group didn’t chew gum at all. After three months, the number of bacteria in the saliva of xylitol-gum chewers was lower than in the other two groups.

To reap these benefits, chew a piece of xylitol gum three or four times a day for at least five minutes. Sugarless gum without xylitol doesn’t seem to cut down on bacteria, but it can help increase the flow of saliva, which protects teeth.

Carbohydrate-containing foods, including bread, cereal,

rice, other grains, beans, fruits and vegetables, contain sugars and starches that feed the bacteria that live in your mouth.

However, these foods are part of a healthy, balanced diet.

But there are other types of starches and sugars that promote cavities and are not part of a healthy diet. For many reasons, not just preventing dental problems, it’s best to minimize them in your diet: • Sticky sweets such as honey, molasses, chewy candy or raisins.

• Slowly dissolving sugars, such as those from slow-melting hard candies.

• Starch and sugar combinations, such as those found in cookies, cakes and other sweet baked goods.

Finally, if you eat sweets before bedtime, be sure to brush before heading to bed. Otherwise, the sugar will stay in your mouth and on your teeth overnight. If you have had many cavities, or gum disease, you might talk to your dentist about using sugar-free gum with xylitol after every meal.

Also ask your dentist about the value of these practices: • Brushing your teeth after every meal; • The best toothpaste for you; • Whether the tap water in your community is fluoridated.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

Person must admit flaws and want to change for the better Dr. Wallace: A young girl asked for your advice about a young man she was dating who had three nasty habits – smoking, drinking, and abusing drugs. She had never been involved in any of these kinds of dangerous habits, and she sincerely thought she could influence him to stop all three.

Since she is a regular reader of your column, I would like to share some of my own life experience with her and hope you will print my letter.

When I was a teenager, I also thought I had the power to help someone change his ways. When I was 16, I was dating a guy who was 18. He was heavily into cigarettes, marijuana, alcohol and even cocaine. Many times he did not show up at school on a Monday because he was

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace bombed from the weekend.

My parents told me he was a loser and tried to get me to stop seeing him; but I ignored their advice, because I thought my love could change him.

First, I tried to get him to eliminate cocaine, because it was the worst, in my opinion.

I told him if I ever caught him with cocaine again I would stop seeing him. I thought after he quit cocaine, the other three would be easy, and he would soon be free of all of it.

Unfortunately, he did not stop any of his addictive habits, and things went from bad to worse when he started

stealing to support his habits.

He had several serious altercations with the law, and ended up in a halfway house.

My parents were right. I finally came to the conclusion I couldn’t make him change, because his love of drugs was stronger than his love for me. I was disappointed and frustrated I could no longer help him, but he was the only one who could turn his life around. –

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association

TODAY – Don’t wait for change to happen when you can be the one to initiate things. Forward motion will help you avoid confusion and discord. If you offer solutions, enthusiasm and a persuasive plan, nothing will stand between you and your goal.

Love will motivate you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Travel and matters involving an authority figure or foreigners are favored. Stick to the rules and look at the fine print in order to avoid a mistake or loss. Make every move count.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Keep your plans reasonable. If you take on too much, you could overextend yourself. Use your head and focus on frugal methods to reach your goal.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t let anyone sidetrack you with negativity and roadblocks. Go about your business and get whatever job you’ve been given done. Responsibility will be your saving grace.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Emotions will surface, making it easier for you to express your feelings. Say what’s on your mind in order to feel better and make progress with the people you encounter.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Think about what you are doing and the results you are trying to achieve. Don’t be fooled by someone offering unrealistic solutions. Bring about changes that won’t put you in debt.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Accept what you cannot change, but look for alternatives to what you are stuck with. You can make a difference if you are willing to do what’s necessary to achieve happiness.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Sidestep without conflict anyone who gets in your way. Simply back off and go about your business.

Choose not to argue. Personal success is the best revenge.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – If you offer solutions, you will attract an audience. Take care of your health and well-being. Abandon bad influences or excess in any way, shape or form.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Stay under the radar. You will stand a better chance of gaining acceptance if you present a flawless plan. Don’t share until you are prepared to face questions, opposition and negativity.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – It would be good to reconnect with an old co-worker. Together, you can build something concrete, implementing old ideas with new trends.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Reflect upon your past and present, and adjust whatever needs to be changed in order to get back on track. Overindulgence will drag you down, but solutions will prop you up.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – No one, including you, is perfect.

Have patience and listen to what others have to say before you respond. Let your intuition guide you to make the right decision and take the proper action.

A good source of help is the 12-step program offered by Alcoholics Anonymous.

Dr. Wallace: I’m in eighth grade and I’m a good athlete. I will play football when I’m in high school. I think I’ll try out for an end position because I’m pretty fast and I can catch the ball. My dad said that I could go out for football, but he wants me to play defensive back because he said offensive players get hurt a lot more than defensive players.

I think he’s just making this up because he was a defensive back when he played football in high school and he wants me to follow in his footsteps. I think defensive players are more likely to get hurt, don’t you? – Kyle, Dallas Kyle: Several years ago, the

BRIDGE Phillip Alder

National Athletic Trainers Association conducted a study of injuries incurred by high school football players.

Maybe your dad read the report. It reported that offensive players received 55.5 percent of the injuries, compared to 35.8 percent for defensive players, and 8.7 percent for special team members. Running backs were injured the most. Interestingly, 61 percent of all high school football injuries occurred during practice.

Hip/thigh/leg injuries were most common (17.3 percent), followed by forearm/wrist/ hand (15 percent), knee (14.5 percent) and ankle/foot (14.2 percent). All others totaled 39 percent.

CROSSWORD

The Christmas declarer-play problem In my Christmas Competition, you had to plan the play in four hearts after West led the diamond 10.

You win with the ace, draw trumps, and lead your remaining diamond.

If West plays low, put in dummy’s seven.

Then you cannot go down!

Suppose East returns a diamond. You discard a spade from hand, cash the spade ace, ruff a spade, return to dummy with a trump, ruff the last spade, and play a club to the jack. You must either get a club trick or benefit from a ruff-and-sluff.

If West puts up the diamond eight or nine at trick four, win with dummy’s king and lead the diamond seven.

If East covers, discard a spade. Here, again, you make the contract by eliminating spades and endplaying East in clubs.

Or, if East plays a low diamond, you ruff and continue with the spade jack. If West does not cover, you play low from dummy and once more will get home.

Or, if West covers with the spade queen or king, you win with the ace and lead back a spade. If East wins that trick, you are safe.

At the worst, West takes this trick and shifts to a club.

Then you must hope that West has one of the high clubs (as you must if hearts are 3-0).

For the second question, giving a bidding sequence after East opens one diamond, please refer to the diagram (but I accepted anything sensible). In my auction, North’s two-diamond cue-bid shows heart support and at least game-invitational values.

The winner will be announced in the column of Saturday, March 19.

ments for a fraction of the cost of university tuition. The courses are compatible with the equivalent courses offered by the University of Illinois and Northern Illinois University, to maximize transferability of 23 to 26 credit hours, which is nearly one full year of college course credits. Students typically earn 24 to 30 hours of credit during their first year of college. Students who have attended EMSA have transferred to University of Illinois, NIU, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Case Western Reserve University, Cornell University, and Harvard,

and many other four-year institutions.

Track one of EMSA will remain the Engineering-Physics track with the students taking Calculus and Analytic Geometry I in the summer prior to their senior year in high school. That fall, they will take Calculus II and Physics for Science and Engineering I. In spring 2017, they will complete the Academy with Calculus III and Physics II. Track two, which is new for fall 2016, is the Pre-Professional Track.

Students will begin with the same Calculus and Analytic Geometry I

Activities included a book fair, decorating snowman cookies while sipping hot chocolate, and winter math games.

Kishwaukee College ESL students receive grant DAILY CHRONICLE

MALTA – Kishwaukee College’s English Language Proficiency Bridge Program received a grant for $1,371 from the Promise Fund of the DeKalb County Community Foundation.

Amanda Poturalski, Adult Education Transition Specialist, wrote the grant request to cover tuition and related expenses for six English as a Second Language students who are new immigrants and represent six different countries.

“Many of these students have been educated in their home countries, but the credits do not transfer,” Poturalski said in a news release. “In our bridge program, they transition to English 103, College Composition, to begin earning their educational credentials in the U.S. “These funds from DCCF will pay their English class tuition and related fees to help them begin again.”

The Promise Fund is one of two awards administered by the DCCF Promise Grant, with money designated for providing services to underserved and marginalized populations in DeKalb County.

As a nice gesture during the last days of the semester, staff members at Gwendolyn Brooks Elementary in DeKalb handed out coffee to parents as they dropped students off for school. This is done once every quarter and gives staff members a chance to interact with each other. Most importantly, it is an excellent way to show appreciation to parents.

The DeKalb County Community Foundation’s Promise Fund Advisory Committee granted $599 to DeKalb County Youth Service Bureau to purchase materials in Spanish for Spanish-speaking parents taking the Active Parenting of Teens class. YSB has seen an increase in those needing bilingual services, and is actively recruiting for an additional full-time bilingual therapist. Promise Grants support charitable community organizations that provide services to underserved and marginalized populations in DeKalb County. Dawn Littlefield, Promise Grant Committee member, presented the check to Diana Hulst, YSB executive director.
