Police start training to use heroin antidote

Keyana Williams, 27, turns the jump rope for her 3-year-old son, Jeramie Green, outside of their apartment at University Village. Other children in the neighborhood like to gather and jump rope or hula hoop when Williams is outside playing with her children. “It was something for me to start over again,” Williams said about University Village.

Residents like their home, but feel stigmatized By the numbers

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Keyana Williams maneuvers her feet around a whirling jump rope outside her apartment in University Village.

Around Williams, a 27-yearold Chicago native who moved to DeKalb six years ago, about a dozen children mimic her motions, waiting for their turn to jump inside the cord coming within inches of their faces.

They’re not afraid. They’re not afraid of the rope, and they’re not afraid of their neighborhood – although some of them used to fear the places they lived.

“It’s fun for us to be outside without nothing happening,” Williams’ 8-year-old daughter Jakiyah Green said. “Like shooting or hurting people.”

University Village residents say they know a stigma surrounds their neighborhood, be it based on perceptions about crime, race or the many residents who receive federal housing subsidies. But for them, “the village” has given them a chance to start anew, gain a competitive edge against a world that seems at odds with them, or simply live in a place that feels safer than the city neighborhoods and suburban communities they once called home.

SYCAMORE –Area police officers began training this week to administer Narcan, a heroin and opiate antidote that can save an overdosing patient.

The first Narcan Overdose Prevention Program training includes the county’s largest police forces: the county sheriff’s department, DeKalb police, Sycamore police and Northern Illinois University police. KishHealth Systems and NIU police will lead the training.

DeKalb County Board chair Jeff Metzger, R-Sandwich, wanted to launch the Narcan pilot program after attending a roundtable discussion on drug awareness earlier this year with U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, a Winfield Republican.

After the discussion, Metzger created and has worked with a task force, which included police agencies, county officials and KishHealth Systems, to bring the Narcan program to the county. County officials ordered a nasal spray form of the opiate antidote this week.

About Narcan • Also called naloxone • Blocks effects of opiates such as heroin, morphine, oxycodone, methadone, fentanyl and codeine.

• Can be administered by shot or nasal spray • Can help patients who show symptoms of overdosing, such as slowed breathing, limpness, vomiting or gurgling.

directors also help retain existing businesses, and I’ll close by mentioning something important to me (and others too, based on Letters to the Editor and Internet comments). Some are tired of me writing about this, but I’m not giving up.

See, the local Barnes & Noble is closing at the end of this holiday season. Not for lack of customers (according to two managers), but because the bookstore and the property owners can’t agree on a lease. You should do everything you can to prevent this closure.

We need to keep Barnes & Noble not merely because of its economic presence, but because it’s one of the only non-alcohol-related hangouts. For better or worse, it’s one of our only cultural/ recreational magnets. The problem is taxpayers don’t want to subsidize corporations, so you have to think up something that will work.

You probably knew that another of our great local stores, Moxie, is closing (again, not for lack of customers). Moxie is a great, downtown space. It’s not as large as Barnes & Noble’s current location, but moving there would be preferable to losing the store.

Good luck in your new position. Call me if I can help.

Comet buzzing Mars on Sunday Event happens once in about a million years

By MARCIA DUNN The Associated Press CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – The heavens are hosting an event this weekend that occurs once in a million years or so.

A comet as hefty as a small mountain will pass mind-bogglingly close to Mars on Sunday, approaching within 87,000 miles at a speed of 126,000 mph.

NASA’s five robotic explorers at Mars – three orbiters and two rovers – are being repurposed to witness a comet named Siding Spring make its first known visit to the inner solar system. So are a European and an Indian spacecraft circling the red planet.

The orbiting craft will attempt to observe the incoming iceball, then hide behind Mars for protection from potentially dangerous dusty debris in the comet tail.

Shielded by the Martian atmosphere, the Opportunity and Curiosity rovers may well have the best seats in the house, although a dust storm on Mars could obscure the view.

“We certainly have fingers crossed for the first images of a comet from the surface of another world,” said NASA program scientist Kelly Fast.

Spacecraft farther afield, including the Hubble Space Telescope, already are keeping a sharp lookout, as are ground observatories and research balloons.

“We’re getting ready for a spectacular set of observations,” said Jim Green, head of NASA’s planetary science division.

Named for the Australian observatory used to detect it in January 2013, Siding Spring will approach Mars from beneath and zoom right in front Sunday afternoon.

On Earth, the best viewing, via binoculars or telescope, will be from the Southern Hemisphere – South Africa and Australia will be in prime position.

In the Northern Hemisphere, it will be difficult to

see Siding Spring slide by Mars.

The comet – with a nucleus estimated to be at least a half-mile in diameter – hails from the Oort Cloud on the extreme fringe of the solar system. It formed during the first million or two years of the solar system’s birth 4.6 billion years ago and, until now, ventured no closer to the sun than perhaps the orbits of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus or Neptune.

It comes around every one or more million years.

It will be the first Oort Cloud comet to be studied up close in detail.

For comparison, the flyby distance of 87,000 miles is about one-third of the way from here to the moon. Siding Spring’s tail could extend from Earth all the way to our moon. Its gaseous coma, the fuzzy head surrounding the nucleus, might stretch halfway to the moon.

No comet has come anywhere near this close to Earth in recorded history.

“We can’t get to an Oort Cloud comet with our current rockets ... so this comet is coming to us,” said Carey Lisse, senior astrophysicist at

Johns Hopkins University’s applied physics laboratory.

By studying Siding Spring’s composition and structure, scientists hope to learn more about how the planets formed, according to Lisse. Scientists also are keen to spot any changes to the comet or Mars due to the close approach. NASA’s newly arrived Maven spacecraft, for instance, will compare the upper atmosphere before and after it passes.

“Think about a comet that started its travel probably at the dawn of man and it’s just coming in close now,” Lisse said. “And the reason we can actually observe it is because we have built satellites and rovers. We’ve now got outposts around Mars.”

Scientists initially worried the spacecraft orbiting Mars would be at considerable risk from the comet’s massive trail of dust.

The nucleus itself poses no danger of impact. But the particles in the tail, hurtling through space at 126,000 mph could fry electronics, puncture fuel lines, or destroy computers, transmitters or other vital spacecraft parts.

With foxes scarce, hunting clubs target coyotes

By MICHAEL MELIA The Associated Press BRIDGEWATER, Conn.

– American fox-hunting is a sport so steeped in tradition that riders still wear ties and blazers and cry out “Tally ho!” at the sight of prey. But it is adapting to one dramatic change: Coyotes have displaced foxes in the wild and become the hunters’ new quarry.

The bigger, stronger animals pose challenges to the existence of some of the clubs carrying on the hunts introduced from England in the 1600s.

The coyotes that have over-

taken much of the country in recent decades run so much farther that they enter areas where hounds and riders on horseback cannot follow. It is a strain particularly on the few remaining fox-hunting clubs in the densely populated area surrounding New York City, where encroaching development is leaving hunters with less room to roam.

“Those territories are mapped out or delegated. What the coyote has done is made it more difficult because the fox didn’t run into other areas,” said Dennis Foster, executive director of the Virginia-based Masters of Foxhounds Association, which oversees some

155 clubs in 37 U.S. states and Canada.

It has been three years since the last fox sighting for Fairfield County Hounds, a hunting club in Bridgewater, 75 miles north of New York, that is the last fox-hunting club in Connecticut. The coyotes receive mixed reviews as substitute targets. Club members say the coyotes have not changed the essence of the experience – the braying of the hounds, the vistas seen from horseback – but they are less sly and playful.

“When you do find one, the chase is so fast you’ve really got to hang on,” said Mary Huribal, a 51-year-old former

show rider and nurse from Easton.

A hunt began with the blast of a horn last week on a Bridgewater field as 18 American foxhounds were released from the back of a truck, fed treats and directed toward the woods. As the hounds followed a scent up and over Wolf Pit Mountain, the riders, who are not armed, gave chase by circling around on a more manageable path for the horses. The hunts are faster with coyotes and within three hours the riders had returned in time for lunch – without catching their prey.

Coyotes moved into Connecticut around the middle of the last century and have out-

competed foxes for territory, according to Paul Rego, a state wildlife biologist. There are still some foxes in the area, he said, but state officials receive a large number of complaints about coyotes attacking pets and livestock.

The hunts require vast expanses of undeveloped land – meaning property owners must give hunters permission to pass through. The Bridgewater club relocated from nearby Newtown in the 1980s as rural property changed hands and some new owners refused to allow access. Several other clubs in the Northeast have closed in the last couple decades due to development.

‘We knew all the words’ DeKalb Senior Center takes spelling bee

By JESSI HAISH

By ANDREA AZZO DeKALB – Spelling the word geosynchronous to win DeKalb County’s community spelling bee was a cinch for 68-year-old Cheryl Clayton.

Clayton competed among a team of three for the DeKalb Senior Center to win Altrusa International of DeKalb/ Sycamore’s 15th annual spelling bee Thursday, which was held at St. Mary’s Church Parish Center, 322 Waterman St., Sycamore.

“We knew all the words,” Clayton said. “We practice. I was going through the dictionary and dug up a bunch of them.”

Thirteen teams of three competed in the spelling bee, and all the proceeds went toward Altrusa’s literacy programs. The event, which included raffles and a silent auction, typically raises between $5,000 and $6,000 for Altrusa and is its biggest fundraiser, said Debbie Overbeck, co-chair of the fundraising committee for Altrusa International of DeKalb/Sycamore.

The bee went 15 rounds and consisted of words such as poultry in the beginning then advanced to tougher words such as philodendron and sphygmometer near the end. Companies such as KishHealth System and Resource Bank provided $300 sponsorships for each team that competed.

Some of the programs that the fundraiser bee will ben-

Danielle Guerra – dguerra@shawmedia.com

Jack Reich, of the DeKalb County Senior Center team, spells the word “tapestry” Thursday during the 15th annual DeKalb County Community Spelling Bee at St. Mary’s Parish Center in Sycamore. The senior center team was comprised of Reich, Cheryl Clayton and Malcom Swanson.

Spelling bee winners First place: Jack Reich, Malcom Swanson and Cheryl Clayton of the DeKalb Senior Center Second place: Samantha Hathaway, Sally DeFauw and Michael McCue of DeKalb Public Library Third place: Christine Monteiro, Linc Smelser and Jerry Zar of Kishwaukee Symphony Orchestra

efit include one in which Altrusa provides Born to Read bags for every baby born in DeKalb County hospitals, as well as a $1,500 scholarship Altrusa provides each year to DeKalb and Sycamore high schools and Kishwaukee College, Overbeck said.

The fact that the spelling bee was a fundraiser was one of the reasons why Yasmine Brooks, a 21-year-old student at Kishwaukee College, chose to participate in the bee as a member of her school’s Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society.

Brooks’ team was the first eliminated from the bee when another member from her team incorrectly spelled the

word ottoman. It disappointed Brooks, who was dressed in a yellow tutu and wore a bee antenna headband.

“I thought it was spelled the correct way, but I was too nervous to say so,” she said.

“I should be more confident with my spelling. I will definitely learn from this one.”

DeKalb Public Library’s team finished in second place, and Kishwaukee Symphony Orchestra finished in third.

Some of the words seemed to play off the teams that participated. For example, the Senior Center correctly spelled the word geriatrician. Also, immediately after Kishwaukee Symphony Orchestra was eliminated for spelling synoptophore incorrectly, the next word for DeKalb Public Library was brahmsian, relating to the works of German composer Johannes Brahms.

DeKalb Senior Center team member Jack Reich said he had fun spelling the majority of his team’s words.

“I’m 68 years old. I hope I can spell,” Reich said.

South Prairie PTO planning family walk fundraising event jhaish@shawmedia.com

aazzo@shawmedia.com

October 17, 2014

SYCAMORE – South Prairie Elementary School’s PTO is trying out a new fundraiser format this year in hopes of pulling in more cash for its budget.

A 3K Run/Walk will be from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday at South Prairie Elementary School, 820 Borden Ave. Students collected pledge donations from family and friends and will participate in the event Saturday, rain or shine. The path will go throughout the school property.

In previous years, families pledged money for students to walk and run laps during their physical education classes.

Even children who do-

nated just $1 will be able to participate in the new event, said Jessica Sida, PTO vice president.

The public also will be invited to the event to help raise money for the organization.

There will be a bucket for cash donations and a special wristband area, which costs $5 to enter, with ice cream, face painting and more.

“The goal is to make students’ experience that much better at South Prairie,” Sida said. “The goal of the event

was just to try something new, get the kids motivated to be healthy. It also allows them to do something as a family, instead of just the students.”

Principal Julie Graves said the money will go directly to the PTO, which will disburse the funds for field trips, classroom grants and larger projects, such as the school’s career and college readiness theme for the year.

Students will receive college T-shirts sometime this year that will have the year they will graduate from school.

Graves said the theme aims to get students in a mindset for the future.

“It shows them how to get ready, and this is why we have to study: We have to get ready for college and the work world,” Graves said.

Police: DeKalb man accused of attempted murder in stabbing

By JILLIAN DUCHNOWSKI jduchnowski@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Mustafa C. Sahin broke into his ex-girlfriend’s bedroom and stabbed her new boyfriend repeatedly while swearing he was going to kill him, DeKalb police said.

Sahin, a 21-year-old DeKalb man, fled only to have officers find him at his family’s home in Chicago about two hours later. He was charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery and home invasion. He is next due in court Oct. 23.

Sahin, whose address is listed in court records in

the 3000 block of South Emerald Avenue in Chicago, remained in DeKalb County jail Thursday evening, unable to post 10 percent of his $750,000 bond. If convicted of home invasion or attempted murMustafa C. der, he would Sahin be sentenced to between six and 30 years in prison; probation would not be an option.

The stabbing happened about 9:50 p.m. Wednesday in an apartment in the 200 block of Deerpath Lane in DeKalb, police said. The vic-

tim, a 20-year-old Somonauk man, was taken to Kishwaukee Hospital in DeKalb and later transferred to Rockford Memorial Hospital, a DeKalb police news release states.

Rockford Memorial Hospital officials said the alleged victim was not a patient there Thursday evening.

The incident is the second stabbing in DeKalb this week.

Juan D. Rodriguez, 22, of the 1000 block of East 13th Street in Sterling, was charged with two counts of aggravated battery for allegedly stabbing a man once about 3:51 a.m.

Sunday at a house in the 300 block of College Avenue in DeKalb, authorities said.

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Whether education funding in Illinois rose or fell under Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn depends on whose money you’re talking about, and during what time period.

The question has surfaced repeatedly in the heated campaign between Quinn and his challenger, Republican businessman Bruce Rauner. In two televised debates, Rauner has said money for schools dropped by half a billion dollars under Quinn. In turn, Quinn insists it actually rose nearly $500 million since he assumed office in 2009.

Determining who is right depends on whether you

count an influx of federal stimulus dollars in the 2010 fiscal year, the first budget that the Quinn administration crafted.

It’s not just a spat over numbers. The health of the state’s schools is considered an important issue for women and other crucial voters in the November election, and each candidate is arguing he would be the best defender of the schoolhouse.

Numbers provided to The Associated Press by the Illinois State Board of Education show in 2009, the last year before Quinn replaced his impeached predecessor, Rod Blagojevich, state spending on preschool through 12th grade was $7.4 billion.

This year, it’s $6.8 billion.

The Rauner campaign says that’s a decrease of $600 million, or 8 percent.

But the fiscal 2009 spending was bolstered by President Barack Obama’s economic stimulus package. It shuffled $1 billion in federal funds into Illinois schools that year, and $791 million the following year.

Quinn campaign spokeswoman Brooke Anderson said the stimulus money should not be counted in the state mix of funding – even though the State Board of Education has routinely reported stimulus funding lumped in with state assistance when discussing spending for schools.

Without the federal aid, education funding in fiscal

SANDWICH – A 22-year-old Montgomery man accused of arson and burglary was sitting in jail Thursday afternoon on $250,000 bond, authorities said.

Kevin W. Debolt, of the 2500 block of Hartfield Drive, is accused of setting fire to China House, 1201 E. Church St., Sandwich, on April 4, 2013, court records show. Sandwich police said he tried to enter the business that same day to commit a theft, according to court records.

A warrant was issued Oct. 2 for Debolt’s arrest. Court records show Debolt has other pending cases alleging criminal damage to a government-supported building and battery.

Sandwich police said Debolt punched a Sandwich man in the head on Jan. 4, 2013, and then punched out a window in the holding cell at the Sandwich Police Department that same day, causing less than $500 in damage, court records show.

Both arson and burglary are offenses that are punishable by probation or between three and seven years in prison. Debolt is expected to ask a judge to reduce his bond on Friday.

charge on Sept. 18 in exchange for prosecutors dropping additional charges against him, some from other cases.

Among those dropped were allegations that Cook had five grams or less of cocaine in May 2013 when police searched his home. Cook’s wife, Carla, also was implicated during that investigation, but charges were eventually dropped against her, court records show.

David Cook will receive 30 days of credit for time he spent in jail. He also will serve two years’ parole upon his release from prison.

– Andrea Azzo Group targets ‘sweepstakes’ machines CHICAGO – An anti-crime Prison sentence issued group in Illinois launched in Sandwich drug case SYCAMORE – A Sandwich man is heading to prison after admitting he tried to sell cocaine in August 2012, court records show.

David Cook, 54, of the 200 block of West Boulevard Street, was sentenced Thursday to five years in prison after he pleaded guilty to attempted unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, according to court records. He tried to sell the drugs Aug. 22, 2012, court records show.

Cook pleaded guilty to the

a campaign Thursday to eradicate unregulated casino-like kiosks in bars and other venues that mimic legal video gambling, arguing the “sweepstakes” or “coupon” machines are sometimes fixed to cheat players and invite the involvement of organized crime. The machines are present in more than a dozen states, many of which are grappling with similar issues, a report by the American Gaming Association found.

“The bottom line is schools are receiving $500 million less in general fund education spending than they did in [fiscal year] 2010,” Rauner spokesman Mike Schrimpf said. “Quinn used the stimulus to back-fill general fund spending and he has still never made general funds education spending for schools whole.”

Quinn and lawmakers initially did try to make up some of that difference. In the 2011-2012 school year, when federal assistance ended, they pumped education funding up to just over $7 billion.

That means state funding under Quinn hit its zenith in 2011. Since then, it has decreased $214 million, or more than 3 percent.

BRIEFS 22-year-old accused of arson, burglary

2009 drops to $6.4 billion, which means state support has increased $442 million, or 7 percent.

When stimulus funding expired in 2011, Quinn got approval for his income tax increase in part to help education – over GOP objections, Anderson said.

“We fought the Republican attempts to cut the budget and cut education funding,” she said. “The governor led that fight to raise revenue in 2011 and allowed us to avoid radical cuts to education.”

But Rauner’s campaign focuses on there being less money today for schools than six years ago – suggesting Quinn should have come up with funding to replace the lost stimulus funds.

Frederick Allen Dickinson, age 74, passed away Friday, October 10, 2014, in Downey, California, very suddenly without warning from a major heart attack.

Born October 23, 1939, in Waterman, Illinois, he began life in Aurora, then moved to the family farm in Lee, where his adolescent years were spent, and graduated from Glenbard High School in Glen Ellyn.

Just after graduation, Frederick served his country in the United States Air Force, beginning September 10, 1958, and was honorably discharged September 9, 1964, as Airman 2nd Class with two stripes, decorated with a good conduct medal. Most of his time was spent in Alaska at Fort Yukon as a radar operator intercept control technician.

Upon discharge, having had quite enough cold weather for a while, he moved to Hollywood, California, where he soon met his wife-to-be, Sandra, by whom he was predeceased. They remained in California, moving to Downey, and had a daughter. He was a very devoted father and husband, creating a very close network of friends who became more like extended family.

Frederick led a very full, happy life; he was a brilliant, creative free thinker and a very unique, special individual.

Just out of the Air Force, he found employment as a mechanic. He could build an engine from scratch or fix any problem. From this, he segued into big-rig truck owner/ operator; he loved to drive, travel and see the country.

In 1974, he shifted gears, no pun intended, allowing his creative side to take the spotlight, pursuing a career in journalism. He graduated with honors from Cerritos College with AA in journalism, an award in political science and was editor of the student newspaper. He then attended California State University Fullerton, receiving a BA in communications. He was an author, photographer and entrepreneur. Along with several books and short stories, some of which have been published, he wrote and photographed for Boat Race Magazine, covering friends like Rocky Aoki, founder of Benihana; the Herald Examiner; Southeast News; and others.

In 1979, Frederick began Dickinson Photography, an independent advertising/ photography studio, followed by Creative Communications. Later in life, he focused more on pure art photography, winning several awards and selling his art.

He had more than 12 letters to the editor published in the Los Angeles Times - getting one in would have been a great feat.

Not able to stay away from his love of the road and driving, he returned as an oversized-load escort pilot, participating as a support system of the big rigs he once drove.

He was also a board member at Temple Ner Tamid, and Masonic past master. He certainly kept busy and he will be greatly missed.

Frederick is lovingly remembered and survived by his daughter, Pamela; brother, Richard; sister, Barbara; numerous cousins, nieces and nephews; as well as grandnieces and grandnephews.

A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m., Sunday, October 19, 2014, at Calvary Lutheran Church, 19 Perry Road, Lee, IL 60530, with burial following at Union Cemetery, at Perry and County Line roads. A second memorial service will be held at 5:30 p.m., Sunday, October 26, 2014, at Temple Ner Tamid, 10629 Lakewood Blvd., Downey, CA 90241.

In lieu of flowers, donations to both the church and temple are welcome.

FBI director warns against cellphone encryption The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – FBI Director James Comey warned in stark terms Thursday against the push by technology companies to encrypt smartphone data and operating systems, arguing that murder cases could be stalled, suspects could walk free and justice could be thwarted by a locked phone or an encrypted hard drive.

Privacy advocates and technology experts called the concerns exaggerated and little more than recycled arguments the government has raised against encryption since the early 1990s.

Likening encrypted data to a safe that cannot be cracked

or a closet door that won’t open, Comey said the move by tech companies to protect user communications in the name of privacy is certain to impede a wide range of criminal investigations.

New legislation to allow law enforcement to intercept communications is needed at a time of advancing technology and new forms of communication, he said.

“We have the legal authority to intercept and access communications from information pursuant to court order, but we often lack the technical ability to do so,” Comey said in a Brookings Institution speech.

Comey cited particular cases in which he said access

to cellphone data aided in a criminal investigation. But in a question-and-answer session after the speech, he said he could not cite particular instances in which someone was rescued from danger who wouldn’t have been had law enforcement been blocked from that information.

“Rescuing someone before they’re harmed? Someone in the trunk of a car or something?” Comey asked. “I don’t think I know yet.”

But, he added, “Logic tells me there are going to be cases just like that.”

The speech, which echoes concerns he and others in law enforcement have previously made, comes soon after announcements by Apple and

Google that their new operating systems will be encrypted, or protected with coding by default.

Law enforcement officials could still intercept conversations but might not be able to access call data, contacts, photos and email stored on the phone.

While the companies’ actions are understandable, Comey said, “the place they are leading us is one we shouldn’t go to without careful thought and debate.”

“Encryption isn’t just a technical feature. It’s a marketing pitch. But it will have very serious consequences for law enforcement and national security agencies at every level,” Comey said.

FBI Director James Comey speaks Thursday about the impact of technology on law enforcement at Brookings Institution in Washington.

Comey gave a stark warning against smartphone data encryption, saying homicide cases could be stalled, suspects could go free and justice may be denied because of a locked phone or an encrypted hard drive.

U.S. still searching for credible allies in Syria WASHINGTON – Despite years of diplomacy and a CIA operation to vet and train moderate rebels, the U.S. finds itself without a credible partner on the ground in Syria as it bombs the Islamic State group.

That’s a potentially serious flaw in its strategy to ultimately defeat the militants.

Obama administration officials have long conceded that airstrikes alone won’t drive IS from its strongholds across Syria and Iraq, but it also has ruled out the use of American ground troops. The U.S. strategy to crush IS rests on the use of local proxy forces, and hinges on plans to use $500 million and a base in Saudi Arabia to build an army of moderate Syrian rebels.

The ground force component has always been seen as a challenge in Syria, but the difficulty has become clearer in recent days. Officials acknowledge the U.S. doesn’t trust any Syrian rebel groups enough to coordinate on the air campaign, despite attempts by some pro-Western fighters to pass along intelligence about IS positions.

The CIA has secretly trained and is paying more than 1,000 moderates to help achieve the administration’s stated objective of overthrowing Syrian president Bashar Assad, U.S. officials have said.

Those fighters have been gaining ground against Assad in southern Syria and in some places are fighting IS, said Robert Ford, a former U.S. ambassador to Syria. The CIA-funded fighters have proven reliable and have made modest gains, said a congressional aide who has been briefed on the matter.

The aide spoke only on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive intelligence.

But some analysts have questioned the fighters’ loyalty and competence. Either way, it’s clear their impact has not been decisive.

“Most of these groups have worked closely with Jabat al Nusra at some point in the last year or so,” said Joshua Landis, the Arabic-speaking director of the Center for Middle East Studies at the University of Oklahoma, referring to the head of Syria’s al-Qaida spinoff. “Some of them have worked hand in glove with ISIS. For Americans to call a sit-down and say ‘Here’s where we’re bombing’ doesn’t make any sense. We don’t trust these guys.”

American officials don’t go that far in public remarks, but

they have been fairly blunt.

“We don’t have a willing, capable, effective partner on the ground inside Syria right now,” Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon spokesman, said last week. “It’s just a fact.”

John Allen, the retired Marine general in charge of coordinating the U.S.-led coalition against the Islamic State group, told reporters Wednesday that “at this point, there is not formal coordination with” the U.S.-backed moderate rebels known as the Free Syrian Army.

That approach has infuriated rebels, fueling mistrust on both sides. The commander of a moderate rebel brigade in the northern Aleppo province, who goes by the nom de guerre Abu Thabet, called the U.S.led airstrikes “pointless and self-serving.”

As Americans have bombed IS positions elsewhere, Syrian government forces have advanced in northern Aleppo province, Abu Thabet said.

Moderate factions like his are trapped between IS fighters on one side and government forces on another, and the U.S. has not once hit IS along the 12mile front it occupies against his group, he said.

Abu Thabet said rebels have tried to pass along information about IS positions to the U.S. military, but have received no response.

“The Americans are kidding themselves,” he said. He then praised the Nusra Front – underscoring the sort of concerns that bedevil U.S. policymakers.

“I am surprised at how fractious and disunified the Syrian opposition has been,” said Michael O’Hanlon, a military strategy expert at the Brookings Institution. “They just haven’t managed to find a charismatic leader or a single rallying point.”

Part of the explanation, he and others said, rests with the decision by the Obama administration not to fund and equip the moderates three years ago, before Nusra and IS grew in strength.

Allen said the U.S.-led coalition intends “to build a coherence to the Free Syrian Army elements that will give it the capacity and the credibility over time to be able to make its weight felt in the battlefield against ISIL. It’s going to require a build phase. It’s going to require a training and equipping phase.”

But critics question whether $500 million and several thousand fighters will be enough.

Specialist Ronnie Howard calls out prices as he works Thursday at his post on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. U.S. stocks are opening lower while European markets suffer even steeper declines. outlook, the government said Thursday the number of Americans who applied last week for unemployment benefits – a figure that reflects the number of layoffs – reached a 14-year low. Once you factor in the growth of the U.S. labor force, the latest number means the likelihood of being laid off is the lowest it’s been on government records dating to the early 1970s.

In addition, the Federal Reserve said Thursday U.S. manufacturing production rose last month after tumbling in August.

For now, investors remain so worried about weakness across the globe they’ve been dumping stocks of every geographic or industry origin.

Near the top of their worries is Europe. The 18-country eurozone’s economy failed to grow at all in the second quarter of the year and might not do so in the third quarter, either. The IMF shaved its forecast for eurozone growth to 0.8 percent this year from its previous forecast of 1.1 percent.

Speaking at the Economic Club of Washington two weeks ago, Jeffrey Zients, director of the White House’s National Economic Council, called

Europe “our No. 1 area of concern” and said the continent could slide into its third recession since 2008. In particular, the darkening picture in Germany – the heart of business activity for the region – is raising fears. After contracting 0.2 percent in the second quarter compared with the previous three months, Germany’s economy risks shrinking again in the third quarter.

That would put its economy technically in recession, as defined by two consecutive quarters of economic contraction.

Still, economists downplay Europe’s effect on the American economy. For one thing, Europe’s struggles aren’t new.

It’s been flailing for years. All the while, the U.S. economy has been steadily gaining momentum.

Overall, America has surprisingly little economic exposure to the world’s troubles.

Exports account for less than 14 percent of U.S. activity, one of the lowest such shares in the world.

It’s American consumers who drive the U.S. economy.

They account for nearly 70 percent of the economy. And in many ways, things are looking up for consumers.

WASHINGTON – Beyond the turmoil shaking financial markets, the U.S. economy remains sturdier than many seem to fear.

The Dow Jones industrial average has lost 874 points since Oct. 8, largely over worries about another recession in Europe, a slowdown in China and world-spanning crises that include the Ebola outbreak and the rise of the Islamic State.

Yet economists aren’t reducing their forecasts for the U.S. economy. The International Monetary Fund, which heightened jitters by cutting its forecasts for global growth, has actually upgraded its outlook for the United States.

Economists say the troubles around the world aren’t enough to derail a U.S. economy that’s gaining strength from a stronger job market, falling fuel prices, lower mortgage rates and improvements in household finances and confidence.

“The U.S. economy is nicely insulated from most global events,” said Eric Lascelles, chief economist for RBC Global Asset Management.

Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics, is keeping his forecasts for U.S. growth at 2.2 percent for this year and 3.4 percent for 2015.

He calls the plunge in stock prices a “garden-variety correction” for an inflated market, rather than evidence of a faltering economy.

The IMF spooked investors last week by cutting its forecast for global economic growth this year to 3.3 percent from 3.4 percent. Even so, the IMF now expects the U.S. economy to grow 2.2 percent this year, up from its June forecast of 1.7 percent.

Ebola: Rising call for travel ban

By CONNIE CASS The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Warning that Americans are losing faith in their government’s ability to stop Ebola, Republican lawmakers on Thursday pressed for a ban on travel to the U.S. from the West African outbreak zone. The White House said other measures are more effective.

The administration spent the day trying anew to tamp down fear as the pool of Americans being monitored for symptoms expanded from Texas to Ohio. President Barack Obama said he might appoint a single official to lead the nation’s efforts against the deadly disease.

While a contentious congressional hearing focused on the three cases of Ebola diagnosed within the U.S., the World Health Organization said the outbreak in West Africa was on pace to top 4,500 deaths by the end of the week.

Obama authorized a call-up of reserve and National Guard troops in case they are needed.

His executive order would allow more forces than the up-to 4,000 already planned to be sent to West Africa, and for longer periods of time.

The president met into the evening with top aides and health officials at the White House, declaring afterward that he had no “philosophical objection” to imposing a travel ban on West Africa but had been told by health and security experts that it would be less effective than measures already in place – and perhaps would be counterproductive.

He said a ban could result in people trying to hide where they were coming from and thus becoming less likely to be screened.

He said it may be appropriate to appoint an additional person to lead the anti-Ebola effort in the U.S., a response to calls that he name an Ebola “czar.”

Health authorities insisted anew there is virtually no risk

Africa stems Ebola via border closings The ASSOCIATED PRESS

A health care worker dons protective gear Thursday before entering an Ebola treatment center in Freetown, Sierra Leone. The deadly Ebola virus has infected two people in what was the last untouched district in Sierra Leone, the government said Thursday, a setback in efforts to stop the spread of the disease in one of the hardest-hit countries. right now to Americans beyond medical workers involved in treating Ebola cases or people who recently traveled to West Africa. Yet people across the country were quick to take precautions.

Individual schools in Akron, Ohio, suburban Cleveland and Belton, Texas, were closed for disinfecting because of fears that students or staff might have had tenuous exposure to a Texas nurse who flew across the Midwest the day before she was diagnosed with Ebola. Akron’s school superintendent, David James, said the move would calm fears in the community.

In Texas, officials were asking some 75 health care workers who had contact with the man who died of Ebola in Dallas to sign legal documents agreeing to stay home. And officials expanded their airline investigation to include passengers on a flight last Friday from Dallas to Cleveland that carried a nurse later diagnosed

with the disease. Passengers on the return flight on Monday already were being contacted.

In Washington, federal health officials who were called to Capitol Hill for a special hearing emphasized the importance of stopping the virus in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea to protect Americans and the rest of the world from its spread.

“You’re right, it needs to be solved in Africa. But until it is, we should not be allowing these folks in, period,” replied Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich. He called for a ban on the 100 to 150 people who fly into the U.S. each day from the three nations at the heart of the outbreak.

“People’s lives are at stake, and the response so far has been unacceptable,” declared Upton, chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee. A handful of congressional Democrats also have endorsed the travel ban that’s mainly been pushed by Republicans.

At the White House, spokes-

man Josh Earnest said the U.S. was already taking the necessary steps to protect the public, because passengers are screened as they depart West Africa and most are checked for fever again when they arrive at a U.S. airport.

Earnest said the chances for a widespread outbreak in the U.S. remain “exceedingly low,” despite shortcomings in the government’s initial responses.

Health officials said the same.

Obama, who directed his administration to respond more aggressively to the virus at home, made calls about Ebola to foreign heads of state as well as congressional leaders at home.

He also called Gov. John Kasich of Ohio, where the CDC is helping to track people who may have been exposed when the Dallas nurse traveled to the Akron area to visit family.

“The president said whatever you need, we want to help,” said Rob Nichols, spokesman for the Republican governor.

NEWS 7

NAIROBI, Kenya – Health officials battling the Ebola outbreak that has killed more than 4,500 people in West Africa have managed to limit its spread on the continent to five countries – and two of them appear to have snuffed out the disease.

The developments constitute a modest success in an otherwise bleak situation.

Officials credit tighter border controls, good patient-tracking and other medical practices, and just plain luck with keeping Ebola confined mostly to Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea since the outbreak was first identified nearly seven months ago.

Senegal did so well in finding and isolating a man with Ebola who had slipped across the border from Guinea in August that the World Health Organization on Friday will declare the end of the disease in Senegal if no new cases surface.

Nigeria is another success story. It had 20 cases and eight deaths after the virus was brought by a Liberian-American who flew from Liberia to Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital of 21 million people, in July. Nearly 900 people were potentially exposed to the virus by the traveler, who died, and the disease could have wreaked havoc in Africa’s most populous nation.

Instead, Ebola appears to have been beaten, in large part through aggressive tracking of Ebola contacts, with no new cases since Aug. 31. WHO, the U.N. health agency, called it “a piece of world-class epidemiological detective work.” The organization is set to declare an end to the outbreak in Nigeria on Monday.

Nigeria had a head start compared with other West African countries: Officials were able to use an emer-

gency command center that had been built by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to combat polio.

Border closings also may be helping halt the spread of Ebola. Ivory Coast, Guinea-Bissau and Senegal, all of which share borders with at least one of the three most affected countries, have closed those borders.

The disease continues to ravage Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, overwhelming their health systems.

And some observers warn that border closings can have limited effect in a region with highly porous boundaries and few resources to patrol them. Border posts are sometimes easily skirted. There is concern that travel restrictions will make things worse in the affected countries by creating what amounts to an economic embargo.

“We have been isolated,” said Kaifala Marah, Sierra Leone’s finance and economic development minister. “It really is killing our economies.”

Authorities in some African countries imposed tight air travel restrictions, tougher than those contemplated by the U.S. or British governments.

South Africa and Zambia slapped travel and entry restrictions on Ebola-stricken countries. Kenya Airways, the country’s main airline, stopped flying to the affected lands. In Zimbabwe, all travelers from West Africa are put under 21-day surveillance. Health officials regularly visit those travelers to check their condition.

Nigeria initially banned flights from countries with Ebola but relaxed the restriction once it felt that airlines were competent to take travelers’ temperatures and follow other measures to prevent people with Ebola from flying.

Heroin overdoses a concern in county • ANTIDOTE Continued from page A1 In recent years, heroin overdoses have been a concern in DeKalb County, as well as Chicago’s collar counties. Three of DeKalb County’s seven fatal drug overdoses in 2013 were attributed to heroin, with two of the six drug overdoses through August this year coming from heroin, according to records from DeKalb County Coroner Dennis Miller’s office. Twelve of the 17 fatal heroin overdoses in DeKalb County between January 2010 and September 2014 have occurred in men age 35 or younger, according to a Daily Chronicle review of DeKalb County Coroner’s Office records.

Sycamore police Sgt. Rod Swartzendruber complimented the Narcan program, adding training began for Sycamore police Wednesday.

“I’m thrilled,” Metzger said. “I’m very excited, not only to bring it to DeKalb County, but to possibly save some lives. I’m thrilled by how fast we were able to put this process together.”

KishHealth System volunteered to cover the cost of equipping participating police officers with Narcan, as well as a refill, since the product has a two-year shelf life, Metzger said. It would cost about $6,000 to equip county-area officers with the product. Metzger said he was looking into donations and other means of funding the project when KishHealth stepped up.

Patrick Gannon, KishHealth System’s EMS medical director and member of the task force, said he is excited an immediate treatment like Narcan will be available.

“If this can save a couple of lives, it will be worth it,” Gannon said.

Both Metzger and DeKalb

County Sheriff Roger Scott said the success rate in neighboring counties is promising.

Metzger said DuPage County program, which has saved 18 lives in 19 attempts since it started in January, gave DeKalb County leaders information during the planning process.

Margi Gilmour, director of DeKalb County Court Services, was selected as the director of the program as an addition to her responsibilities.

Gilmour, along with county coordinator Mary Supple, will oversee the Narcan program’s initial implementation.

Gilmour and Supple will be in contact with remaining police agencies in the county in the near future to gauge interest. Anyone interested in the program can contact Supple at 815-895-7189 or Gilmour at 815-895-7199.

“We’re really ready to roll out the program and see how it goes,” Metzger said.

“2014 has been a very busy year for economic development in DeKalb County,” Borek said. “Commercial development was particularly active during the past year.”

He also took time to highlight projects and partnerships, such as Genoa’s SOARing project, which is efforting economic development, the county’s enterprise zone application and Shabbona’s efforts for a pathway project and beach/swimming area.

The keynote speaker for the event was Jim Dugan, executive support manager for the office of the chairman and CEO of Caterpillar Inc. Dugan, a Sycamore native and NIU alumnus, spoke

about his experiences with the global company and the book “The Caterpillar Way: Lessons in Leadership, Growth, and Shareholder Value” by authors Craig Bouchard and James Koch.

Paul Callighan, DeKalb County Economic Development Corporation board president, said Dugan was a great representative of the county.

Callighan spoke on the accomplishments of the county in the past year, while also mentioning the future. He said the enterprise zone application will put the county on a level playing field with other areas for potential business if it is approved. He said taxing bodies and local governments have helped to push the project.

“You are going to make a big difference,” he said to the audience. “This is a breakthrough moment.”

Median household income at University Village is $6,696 a year • HOME Continued from page A1 Residents say they appreciate those efforts, but their neighborhood sometimes still feels like an island unto itself.

“We want to feel fit in,” Williams said. “We don’t want to feel on the outside.”

‘The village’ Some 1,300 people live in University Village’s 534 apartments housed in multiple buildings on 34 acres between Annie Glidden Road, Crane Drive and Russell Road, adjacent to Northern Illinois University. Of the units in the complex, 465, or 87 percent, are Section 8 units, accounting for more than a third of all the subsidized units in DeKalb.

In the village’s case, the owners reserve units for low-income individuals in exchange for U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development paying the complex the difference between the rent received and the market rate.

Williams has lived in a Section 8 unit in University Village for six years. She’s been on her own since 16. The village’s low-income housing and proximity to her family in Chicago’s North Lawndale neighborhood attracted her to DeKalb.

“It was something for me to start over again,” Williams said.

Williams lives in a two-bedroom apartment with her two children, Jakiyah Green, 8 and Jeramie Green, 3. The thirdfloor apartment is spacious but sparsely furnished, with a living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom and a few closets.

For the first time since she’s lived there, Williams paid rent this summer. Management calculated her rent payments at $40 a month, based on the wages she earned while working as a mentor for Camp Power, a summer camp created for children living in University Village. Section 8 prescribes that eligible residents pay 30 percent of their household income in rent.

Without a job, Williams’ rent reverted back to nothing.

But she’s not keen on living rent-free or relying on family to pay bills. Williams, a high school graduate who takes the bus around town, said she’s applied for jobs and gone on interviews, only to never hear from a prospective employer.

Williams thinks people won’t hire her because of where she lives. Some people in DeKalb assume everyone who calls the village home is a criminal or a shady character because of a select few who cause problems, she said.

“When someone good comes along, they look at us like ‘oh, you fit in with the rest of the people,’ ” Williams said. “And I don’t want that. I want to show them that I’m not like those people. I want to show you my characteristics. And I have not gotten a chance.”

Although it’s a job that doesn’t pay, Williams sometimes takes on a motherly role for the dozen or so children who flocked to her apartment after hearing the unmistakable slap of a jump rope against blacktop. She coaches them through their jumps, encourages them to try again or tells them to be patient.

Close to 600 children live in University Village, making up 41 percent of the population.

Walking through the complex, their presence is clear. They play on the basketball court and swim in the pool. Adults walk home from the bus stop with multiple children who will later leave chalk drawings on the sidewalk, their bikes strewn about in grassy areas while they play.

Eve Besser, 35, plays with her 5-year-old son, Ziggy, in the living room of their two-bedroom apartment at University Village. Besser and her three children had bounced from place to place looking for somewhere to call home when she got the call one year ago saying she was approved for an apartment at University Village.

By the numbers University Village Census Tract:

n Total population: 5,444 n Below poverty line: 2,699 (47 percent)

DeKalb:

n Total population: 36,292 n Below poverty line: 9,557 (26 percent)

Keyana Williams, 27, has lived at University Village for six years and has two children. During the summer she became a mentor for Camp Power, a summer camp created for children in University Village.

Based on neighborhoodscout.com, a tool local police use, 92 percent of cities in the U.S. area safer than Maywood.

Meanwhile, some 85 percent are safer than DeKalb.

“I wouldn’t let my kids play outside like this in Maywood,” Ellison said.

Ellison is one of the few fathers who live in the complex, at least by the U.S. Census Bureau counts. Although University Village families account for only 5 percent of the families in DeKalb, 19 percent of DeKalb’s single mothers live in the village, Census data shows.

According to 2010 Census data, 83 percent, or 332, of the 400 family households in the University Village area and some surrounding properties were headed by women. Husband-and-wife families accounted for 10 percent, while men led 7 percent of the families. The numbers stand out in DeKalb, an area census numbers show is largely comprised of husband-and-wife families.

Some 68 percent of families in DeKalb are two-parent households, while 23 percent are women-led and the remaining 9 percent are headed by men.

A popular place to live Although landlords complain about an oversupply of rental stock in DeKalb, University Village overflows with would-be tenants.

A sign posted on the glass partition at the complex office informs those interested that management isn’t accepting new applications for the complex’s waiting list because of the large number of applicants already in line. The waiting list won’t open for “a year or two,” the notice reads.

Kenosha Seaberry, 25, waited three years before she was approved earlier this year.

A graduate student studying human resources at NIU and a full-time Wal-Mart employee, Seaberry struggled to pay $540 a month in rent at Suburban Estates in DeKalb, not to mention $700 in other monthly bills. At University Village, she pays $236 a month, easing her financial woes.

Seaberry thinks of University Village as a blessing, although she believes DeKalb residents as a whole don’t feel the same. That’s why she kept her residence a secret for

Poverty Before Eve Besser, 35, moved into University Village, she and her three children bounced from place to place, at one point living in a room in someone’s house, doing household chores in lieu of paying rent.

So last year when she found her family an apartment on the north side of the complex for $179 a month, she was relieved to have a place to call her own.

The relief was less for herself and more for her children, her son, Ziggy, 5, and 15-year-old daughter, Chloe, who live with her full-time and her daughter,

By KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com The University Village housing complex that exists today is vastly different from what developers imagined more than 40 years ago.

University Village, or “the village” as it’s commonly known among residents, community leaders and police, was built in phases more than 15 years.

A Chicago-based firm originally proposed the village as a place to provide affordable housing to married students and junior Northern Illinois University faculty. When consultants from Urban Associates first envisioned the 40acre housing complex in 1969, they pitched housing that would allow college students to be culturally, academically and socially immersed in DeKalb.

“It is our intention to plan and design University Village in such a way that it will recall some of the wonderful villages of New England, with theaters, museums, galleries, craftmen’s workshops and display areas,” the proposal authors wrote.

The first phase of the development was built in 1971, a second phase came in 1974 and the third and final phase in 1984. Together, these phases contain 534 units, 465 of them now Section 8 units.

But the complex began to shift from a quaint New England-style village to low-income housing almost immediately.

By the time the second phase was under construction in 1973, the complex was popular enough to have a waiting list because residents could receive government subsidies based on their income, according to a Daily Chronicle story from the time.

Developers proposed a fourth phase of the neighborhood in 1996 that would have added 129 more units, but news reports and letters from attorneys at the time show the city and park district banded together to buy the remaining property with the help of a state grant, ultimately turning it into Welsh Park.

The complex now includes about 1,300 residents.

On a blustery weekday afternoon, Raymond Ellison pushed his 1-year-old daughter London on a swing in Welsh Park next to the village while his girlfriend Ashley Riggs watched their 5-year-old daughter, Imani, nearby.

Riggs came to University Village a year ago after she was approved for a Section 8 apartment, and Ellison followed from their hometown of Maywood a couple months ago. The couple, both 24, said DeKalb and the village are quiet and safe compared with west suburban Maywood.

months after she settled into her one-bedroom apartment there.

“I think people have the stereotype about loudness and that there’s always violence there, that it’s non-educated people there,” Seaberry said.

“Before I got there, I had that perception, too.”

A full schedule keeps Seaberry from interacting much with her neighbors, but she said she loves her apartment.

She has bigger dreams than the village, though. She hopes to start her own human resources company some day and buy a property she can renovate and rent.

“I’m content with the village for now,” Seaberry said.

Belize, 10, who visits weekly.

“It was like, ‘this is mine,’ ” Besser said, mounds of toys and school projects around her in the cluttered two-bedroom apartment.

Although Besser could have qualified years ago, she said she never thought about government subsidized housing before she dropped someone off in the village in 2010 and added her name to the complex’s waiting list.

Besser has struggled financially since her relationship with Belize’s father ended in divorce years ago. She tries to balance the child support payment she receives from Ziggy’s father and the one she owes to Belize’s father with food stamps and paychecks.

“Some months, I don’t know how we make it,” Besser said.

DeKalb High School student Chloe Besser and Eve Besser sometime hesitate to tell people where they live because of the stereotypes surrounding the village and people who live in poverty. Eve Besser said it doesn’t come up much, though, because she doesn’t interact much with people outside the four walls of her apartment.

“If they knew me, they know I am exactly the kind of person that needs this kind of thing,” Eve Besser said. “And I know I’m doing everything I can do and I know there’s no way I could foreseeably get into a situation where I could pay $1,000 a month.”

Eve Besser earns about $1,000 a month, nine months a year, as a nanny. Like many residents, her income falls bellow the poverty line of $19,790 for a family of three.

The median household income for University Village is $6,696 a year, according to a 2011 report from DeKalb’s Safe and Quality Housing Task Force that used the latest census data. That’s more than $30,000 less than DeKalb’s median household income of $37,272.

A former Army reservist, Eve Besser is a certified infant/toddler care specialist.

She hopes one day to return to school so she can earn the 12 credits she needs for an associate degree. But for now, she can’t afford to stop working or pay for school.

The fear that she can’t support her family without government subsidized housing frustrates her, because she wants to appear strong for her children. But, she said, the reality is the subsidized housing is the best thing for her family.

“I’m still going to live here whether you think I’m a welfare something-or-other or not,” Eve Besser said. “I’m still going to live here because it’s my kids and it’s not your kids.

I have to raise them.”

Whoa to our runaway tongues In May 1997, I was a reporter assigned to interview spiritual author Deepak Chopra, who upon meeting me asked whether I could drive him to where our interview would take place.

Great, I thought. More time to ask him questions. A reporter’s dream. He seemed to bear no second thoughts as he crawled into my low-riding Saturn, and he barely raised an eyebrow at the mirror duct-taped to the passenger side of the car.

“Narrow garage,” I said.

“Ah,” he said, nodding.

I pulled onto Interstate 77 and hit the electronic button to close the windows so that we could more easily hear each other talk.

I described what happened next in a story that ran on the cover of The Plain Dealer’s features section.

“Actually, my fingers are in the window,” he says calmly to a mortified reporter driving him during an interview and scrambling to free up Chopra’s hand.

“No, not that button,” he says as the driver’s window rolls down. “The other button would help.”

To this day, I marvel that I was the only one who screamed.

Chopra was seven years younger than I am now and lightyears ahead of who I can only hope one day to be. If your goal in life is to navigate the world with civility – and I confess to harboring this ambition – then a good benchmark is the image

VIEWS Connie Schultz of a calm Deepak Chopra asking you to release his fingers from a vise of your making.

I was reminded of that afternoon with Chopra through a confluence of recent events, which is how memory tends to work. I was condensing several boxes of newspaper clippings from my past – how is it that a year after we moved, I still have a garage full of these? – when I stumbled upon my story about Chopra. That was fun, reading those first two paragraphs aloud to my mortified husband.

Two days later, I was disheartened by commentary on social media blasting Mitt Romney for lovingly praising his wife, Ann, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 15 years ago and had just celebrated the opening of a new hospital wing dedicated to the disease and named for her.

I was a frequent critic of Romney’s, in columns and in TV commentary, throughout the 2012 presidential race, but I viewed his public post as a grateful husband’s tribute to his wife.

I was taken aback by the number of fellow liberals on social media who not only disagreed but also read only cynical intentions in his words.

A shorthand summary: Whew.

Rage deafens us, not just to opposing viewpoints but to ourselves. I’ve often thought that if we had to argue in front of a mirror, we’d stop as soon as we got a good look at ourselves. Nobody wants to be on the receiving end of that.

The next morning, still churning about the Romney reaction, I posted a simple question on my public Facebook page: How would you define civility? In the ensuing responses, one of my former colleagues referred to Chopra’s sense of calm. That’s what triggered my memory of our long-ago exchange and got me to thinking about my own frustrations with our current political climate.

We’re a country full of big ideas and, ever so steadily, an even bigger sense of our own rightness. Nowhere is this more evident than in politics.

Poll after poll shows that we’re increasingly polarized, with no real solutions in sight.

In the past few days, I’ve tuned in to C-SPAN to watch a number of the televised Senate debates, which illustrate all too vividly the toxicity of an uncivil tongue. I say this as a wife of a U.S. senator and as a citizen who believes that all candidates who want to live at taxpayers’ expense should have to reveal their unscripted selves in debate.

This is a bipartisan affliction,

no doubt. Every opening statement, it seems, is about how delighted they are to be there, and then the conversation U-turns down the lowest road in the valley. What most struck me this round was how all the Republican candidates for Senate seem to be running against President Barack Obama. How odd, when he will be president for only two years of the winners’ six-year terms.

Rep. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., in his debate with Sen. Mark Pryor, said “Obama” 74 times in a 90-minute debate. There were four candidates in this debate.

Allowing for six minutes of moderator questions, that means Cotton mentioned Obama every 17 seconds. Somewhere along the way, the word “debate” has come to mean “to hell with issues; let’s just throw globs of mud and see what sticks.”

It’s easy to see how too many people still willing to vote might choose based on which candidate didn’t make them throw up in their mouths. More than a little, I mean. In the interest of civility, I’ll stop there. For now.

If you were on a high school sports team, you probably went through some kind of initiation ritual. It probably involved some kind of temporary embarrassment, like being given a bad hairdo or being made to wear an ugly shirt. The silly, harmless variety of “you’re one of us now” bonding.

But the moment such rituals involve an act of violence, especially one perpetrated by a group on an individual, initiation has given way to hazing, and it must be treated as the criminal act it is. It has allegedly done so in horrifying fashion in Sayreville, New Jersey.

Seven players on the War Memorial High School varsity football team, arrested on Friday and Saturday, were charged as juveniles with a list of serious offenses stemming from four separate hazing episodes against four teenagers, the New York Times reported Sunday.

Three face charges including aggravated sexual assault – a violent crime that alone can carry up to a 20-year prison term in the adult system – for “an act of sexual penetration,” authorities said. Four others face a lesser top charge of aggravated assault.

Freshman players who witnessed or heard about the assaults described upperclassmen grabbing younger players and groping them; in at least one instance, they shut out the lights and pinned a younger student down, laughing and goading one another into assaulting him, the Times reported.

One 14-year-old, who said he had described the scene to the police but did not want to give his name for fear of reprisals, said he was alarmed but was told by junior varsity players that the same thing had been done to them by upperclassmen when they were freshmen.

“They would pick someone,” he said. “It’s been going on for a long time.”

Others, too, said the younger players had tried to laugh it off.

“I thought it was just normal stuff, just locker room antics,” said Christian Brito, 14, who said that one of the victims had described one of his assaults in late September, the Times reported.

Adults know the distinction between “locker room antics” of the harmless variety and a violent sexual assault. As with bullying, it’s up to adults – parents and guardians, specifically – to help educators stamp out hazing.

Talk to your kids. Make sure they’re talking to you, keeping the line of communication open. And if they see something, they must say something. Rituals that involve attacking new members should have no place on any team. You shouldn’t have to be assaulted by teammates to get a varsity letter.

ANOTHER VIEW

Wiping away Soviet past The old trunk weighed more than 81 pounds. It was crammed with handwritten letters sent between 1946 and 1954 that were held together with string and rubber bands.

The letters revealed the love story of Lev and Svetlana Mishchenko, a couple separated by Lev’s imprisonment in the Soviet gulag after World War II. What made the letters extraordinary is that they were uncensored, smuggled back and forth from the Pechora prison camp in the far north. The letters became the basis for Orlando Figes’ moving book, “Just Send Me Word,” published in 2012.

What makes this relevant today is that the Mishchenko trove of letters was found by Figes at Memorial, a Russian organization formed in the dying days of the Soviet Union to ensure that the story of Stalinist repression would not be forgotten. Memorial has also, separately, been at the forefront of human rights work, determined not to let the brutality of the past be repeated. Now Memorial is facing demands by President Vladimir Putin’s government that the organization be closed. This would represent a loss beyond description.

In its archives, Memorial has preserved stories of the suffering inflicted upon millions of people by the Soviet police state. The Mishchenkos survived and were reunited; many others met a worse fate. The only way a society can begin to heal from such wounds is to preserve the lessons of history for future generations.

But Putin, a scion of the Soviet KGB that inflicted so much of the suffering, has no use for Memorial. On Friday, news services reported that the Russian Justice Ministry had filed a petition with the Supreme Court to force Memorial to close. A hearing is set for Nov. 13.

The move appears to be based on a legal technicality concerning Memorial’s structure, which includes a Moscow office and a decentralized network of regional groups that engage in human rights, charitable, historical and educational work. Memorial, registered with the Justice Ministry in 1992, has existed this way for many years, but only now has the government decided there is something wrong. As if to twist the knife, Putin’s loyalists unleashed a smear campaign against Memorial on the NTV television channel, accusing the group of supporting extremists and terrorists.

Earlier, the Kremlin’s pressure on Memorial included attempts to force it to accept the status of a “foreign agent” under a new Russian law that has been used to harass groups that receive funding from abroad. Memorial has resisted the insulting label, which is redolent of Soviet-style accusations of disloyalty and treachery.

No one should underestimate the power of the Russian state to crush a person or organization. Putin has done it repeatedly to silence his critics. But the squelching of Memorial would be an especially grievous blow to the Russian people and their ability to understand, and shape, their history.

PREP FOOTBALL: DEKALB VS. YORKVILLE

DeKalb co-op dual unbeaten string intact

DeKalb running back Dre Brown runs down the sideline for 31 yards to score DeKalb’s second touchdown in the first half Oct. 10 against Rochelle. With a victory tonight against Yorkville, the Barbs (7-0) will win their first division championship since 1989.

A lot on the line

DeKALB – Another swim dual. Another victory. That seems to be the case with the DeKalb-Sycamore girls swimming team.

For the third season in a row, the Barbs finish the dual-meet season undefeated after beating Fenton 128-38 on senior night Thursday.

DeKalb-Sycamore swept in every event.

“I think the meet went really well, considering how we have now been undefeated for the past three years,” senior Katie Arnadt said. “Tonight went extremely well. There were some bittersweet moments but it was a good meet.”

The team continues to produce win after win. Barbs coach Melanie Chambers said she was happy her team got wins from every spot in its lineup.

“It went great. The girls did great. We have a lot of depth on our team, and that showed tonight,” Chambers said. “It was a great meet for our seniors and celebrating them.”

For starters, the Barbs (9-0) relay teams were domi-

The 400 freestyle team of Keck, Ana-Flavia Michelini, Madisyn Grever and Kylie Olson took the win with a time of 4:05.12.

Kozlowski also was apart of the 200 freestyle team, along with Celia Carpenter, Elissa Roose and Alexa Miller. Kozlowski said the team was loose before and during the dual.

“It was pretty fun,” Kozlowski said. “I had way more fun than I thought I was going to have, to be honest. I was dancing before the meet,

By EDDIE CARIFIO ecarifio@shawmedia.com DeKalb and Yorkville aren’t exactly traditional football powers.

That’s why Foxes coach Karl Hoinkes said not a lot of people thought tonight’s battle between the two teams would be for the Northern Illinois Big 12 East title.

“Let’s put it this way – everybody but two people thought that this would never happen. That’s the DeKalb coach and me,” Hoinkes said. “We’re excited we’re in this position and I’m sure they’re excited as well. We haven’t been the top team in the conference in awhile. Us and DeKalb have to be proud of ourselves to this point.

We’re excited, and I’m sure they’re excited that everyone else is still playing but we’re playing for a championship. That’s pretty cool.”

Football stirs DeKalb’s school spirit revival D-428 officials: Success spreads across all sports

By EDDIE CARIFIO sports@daily-chronicle.com It’s been a long time since Tracy Williams has seen a DeKalb team this good.

Williams, the District 428 school board president, is enjoying the memories it brings back to the teams of the late 1970s and early ‘80s.

“I would say today we’re getting back much closer to that (sense of pride and community surrounding the team),” said Williams, whose son, Leif, is a junior linebacker on the team.

“There’s a lot of community pride in the team. You wouldn’t have seen this type of enthusiasm and support in these numbers.

Just look at how full Huskie Stadium was for the Sycamore game.”

As a member of the class of 1978, Williams remem-

BOYS SOCCER: DEKALB 2, MORRIS 1

Win gives Barbs 5th straight conference title

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Despite the muddy conditions, DeKalb beat Morris 2-1 to tie Yorkville for the league crown – the fifth straight title for the Barbs.

“It’s a tremendous accomplishment,” DeKalb coach Brent McIntosh said. “We had a very young team this year, and we really had to grind it out sometimes, but they stuck to it.”

Owen Smith broke a 1-1 tie with 22:41 to go by hitting a shot just under the crossbar from 20 yards out.

In the first half, DeKalb’s Trevor Freeland opened the scoring off an assist from An-

gel Martinez – who also assisted on Smith’s goal. Despite numerous opportunities, the Morris offense could not find the back of the net, and the Barbs took a 1-0 lead into halftime.

With 31:25 to play in the second half, Morris’ Luke Rodriguez had a breakaway opportunity, but was taken down in the goalkeeper box, resulting in a penalty kick. Ricardo Del Toro converted the kick into a goal for the Redskins, hitting the lower right corner, to tie the game at 1-all.

The Barbs (11-5-3 overall, 6-2 NIBig 12 East) begin play in the Class 3A Huntley Regional against Rockford Jefferson at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Huntley.

NLCS: GIANTS 6, CARDINALS 3; SAN FRANCISCO WINS SERIES 4-1

Giants win another pennant

By JANIE McCAULEY The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO – Travis Ishikawa hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning, sending the San Francisco Giants to the World Series with a 6-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday night.

These every-other-year Giants clinched the NL championship ceries in Game 5 and now will face the Royals in an all wild-card Fall Classic that begins Tuesday night in Kansas City.

Pablo Sandoval singled to start the ninth against Michael Wacha, making his first appearance of the postseason for the Cardinals. After an out, Brandon Belt walked to bring up Ishikawa, who drove a 2-0 pitch into the elevated seats in right field.

Ishikawa hit the first game-ending homer in NLCS history. And it was the first time a homer sent the Giants into the World Series since perhaps the most famous drive ever in baseball — Bobby Thomson’s “Shot Heard ‘Round the World” in a 1951 playoff.

This time last year, Genoa-Kingston sophomore golfer Tommy Lucca was heading to state to compete for the first time. This season however, the now junior will be joined by fellow teammate and friend Nick Adamczyk.

Both Lucca and Adamcyzk shot 78s at the Class 2A Grayslake Sectional to qualify for the Class 2A state meet. Lucca said he was happy Adamczyk was going to accompanying him to Normal. “[We are] very excited,” Lucca said. “We are both looking to score well down here and are looking forward to get it started [today] and Saturday.”

Gatz shot a 79 at the Class 1A Seneca Sectional last weekend to qualify.

Also, Kaneland’s Tori Guyton will tee off at 9:51 a.m. at the

Class AA state tournament at Hickory Point Golf Course in Forsyth. The senior shot an 81 at the Conant Sectional.

The G-K pair left Thursday for Weibring Golf Club at Illinois State University for a practice round before the weekend’s tournament. Lucca, who finished tied for 36th last year, will be looking to improve on last year’s result.

“Tommy and I are good friends outside of golf, and we were both hoping to get down to state together at the beginning of the year,” Adamczyk said. “I’m really excited about being there and I feel confident about my game right now. I am just looking forward to playing a couple of good rounds.”

According to G-K coach

Mike Lauer, the two juniors have been consistent all season long – but they both have different strengths in the game.

Lucca uses his length to really stretch the course, while Adamcyzk’s shot game has been key to the success.

“With Tommy’s experience from last year down here and the way Nick has been playing so well lately, they should look to finish well and have an exciting weekend,” Lauer said.

Lauer also said that if the two can putt like they did in sectional tournament, they should be fine. Adamcyzk will be the first of the two to tee off, with a start time of 10:09 a.m.

Both Moeller and Williams said they’ve seen a new winning attitude spread across all sports this fall, and credited the coaches and administration at the school for that.

First-year DeKalb athletic director Tom Kim said it’s hard to tell from the attendance numbers about the increased interest in the team – he also said the numbers from the team’s two home games this year were unavailable. Aside from the fact that there’s only been two

games this year at the Barbs’ stadium, weather has wrecked havoc on both games.

“What I can tell you is this – I was really happy with the crowd that stuck around in the home opener against Vernon Hills,” Kim said. “That was the game we kicked off about 9:45 at night, and I’ve got to tell you, I don’t think there was a single student that went home. They stuck it out in the fieldhouse.

We had a ton of parents sticking around.”

On Wednesday, Kim said he hoped the weather would be cooperative for the first time this year, and Mother Nature may oblige. The forecast for Friday night is cloudy skies with a kickoff temperature of 53 degrees. If the weather holds, Kim said he expected a big, enthusi-

astic crowd.

But even with the weather he said he’s noticed a difference in the fans. Booster club members have noticed a difference, too – in the way the community supports the team, club President Walter Thompson said.

“We have a lot of people around the community, businesses, instead of us calling them all the time to ask for their support, they’re actually calling us,” said Thompson, whose son Devonte is a Barbs offensive lineman. “It just seems over the past few months, as the team wins more and more, it seems like the excitement keeps building up and there are more people around the community who just want to be involved.”

Like the administrators, booster club Secretary Julie

Smith said she expects the success of the football team to carry over into other sports.

“I would think the success of the football team is going to lead to bigger membership going forward,” Smith said. “As parents see success happening with the teams, they want to be more involved.”

Williams said the staff is in place at DeKalb to sustain success. He said he doesn’t define success as wins and losses, but in terms of getting athletes to compete at their highest levels.

“That may be .500 for some groups and state championships for others,” Williams said. “But the culture needs to make it so each group maximizes its own potential. And I think we have the people in place to do that year in and year out.”

Chambers is 3-0 since being hired as head coach • UNBEATEN Continued from page B1 so it was fun.”

Keck posted wins in two other events, the 200 individual medley and the 100 breaststroke.

Also, Hein posted wins in the 100 freestyle and the 100 backstroke.

Olson won the 500 freestyle Danielle Guerra – dguerra@shawmedia.com with a time of 5:30.57, and the DeKalb-Sycamore co-op swimmer Kylie Olson finishes the last 50 yards of 200 freestyle with a 2:06.87. the 500-yard freestyle race with a winning time of 5:30.57 on Thursday, Carpenter won the 100 October 16, 2014, against Fenton at Huntley Middle School. butterfly, while Bailey Flem-

ming won the 50-yard freestyle.

Since Chambers has taken over as head coach, the Barbs have not missed a beat.

The team is 3-0 since she has been hired as head coach about two weeks ago.

“They have been great.

I knew most of them coming into this, so it has been a pretty smooth transition. I would say it was as seamless as it could be since I already had relationships built with them,” Chambers said.

But none of that happens without the Cogs first beating Harvard. Frederick said the team is used to the backs-against-thewall mentality.

“That started last weekend against North Boone,” Frederick said. “We told them, ‘you’ve dug yourself a hole and you can’t look back now. If you do, that’s your season.’ They’ve been in that mode since we went up to North Boone. We keep trying to remind them that it’s just one game at a time. We can’t handle Richmond-Burton until we handle Harvard.”

sports@daily-chronicle.com Kaneland (2-5 overall) at LaSalle-Peru (0-7, 0-4) Game time: 7:30 p.m. today Last meeting: The Knights cruised to a 56-14 win in 2011.

Scouting the Cavaliers: It’s been a long year for LaSalle-Peru, with their average margin of defeat 38 points this year. The Cavs have only scored 36 points this year, with 20 coming last week in a 50-20 loss at Ottawa, also their closest game of the year.

Jake Hoyle threw a touchdown in the first minute of the game for L-P, and finished with two touchdowns and 164 yards to go with an interception.

What’s at stake: Kaneland is out of the playoffs for the first time since 2007 and only the second time in the past 20 years. The Knights have lost five straight, but by a total of 32 points. They look to end the year strong with wins over the Cavaliers and in the finale at home against Rochelle.

There have been some bright spots for the Knights, namely receiver Connor Fedderly. He has caught 49 passes for 730 yards and eight touchdowns, including all three last week in a 26-21 loss to Morris that eliminated them from the postseason. Quarterback Jake Marczuk has completed 102 of 184 passes for 1,480 yards, 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions.

“We had a really good practice [Wednesday],” Kaneland coach Tom Fedderly said. “Kids were still a little hurt at the beginning of the week, but I think the kids are past that now and looking forward to going to L-P and playing a good game. We’re not feeling sorry for ourselves anymore and we’re ready to finish the season strong.”

Yorkville coach has ‘no idea how we’re going to keep up’ • BARBS Continued from page B1 has committed to Illinois – and their high-powered offense into the contest averaging 41.6 points a game. The Foxes are the second-highest scoring offense in the division at 29 points a game. Brown has run for 1,334 yards and 18 touchdowns this year.

“We have to find out some way to hold then under 40,” Hoinkes said. “No one has done it yet. Maybe one time they’ve been held under 40.

They are tough to stop and we have to play a perfect game, which is within reach. They are a really good football team” The number is actually three times – they scored 33 in the opener against Vernon Hills and earned a 37-34 win at Kaneland before last week’s 28-27 come-from-behind win at Rochelle. A late two-point conversion propelled the Barbs to the win.

“Honestly, it showed the fortitude of our kids and the desire of them to compete and win,” Weckler said. “There were times in that game where I think we could have easily given up. When it came to crunch time our defense made some stops and our offense made some plays to get tho extra points.”

It was the first time the team had come from behind late to win. Against the Knights, they shut down a

late drive to preserve the win in a game they led the entire second half. Sycamore hung somewhat close but lost 5540. The Spartans lost 14-0 last week at Yorkville.

DeKalb offensive lineman Devonte Thompson said the team learned a lot from the dramatic victory against the Hubs.

“It proves you can’t over-

look teams,” Thompson said.

“You have to take all teams seriously. It also proves we can handle it coming down in crunch time.”

The Barbs haven’t won a division title since 1989, a streak that would end with a win tonight. Linebacker Allen Letterer said the team is ready.

“This is something you

only get one shot at,” Letterer said. “You have to go out and do everything you can to put yourself in the best situation to go out and get the job done.”

The Barbs will be without return man and wide-out Tony Tate for the second week in a row and will be missing linebacker Leif Williams.

Still, Hoinkes said he has “no idea how we’re going to keep

up” with the prolific DeKalb offense.

“They have a D-I back and we don’t,” Hoinkes said.

“They have two kids that can fly on the outside and we don’t. We’re going in undermanned, but we’re going to play it and see what happens.

I hope that we play very, very well and represent ourselves well.”

He’s the best person I have ever met, but I’m not deeply in love with him. He doesn’t bring out the best in me and I don’t know what to do. How should I handle this situation without breaking our engagement? – Ms. Engaged in Florida Dear Ms. Engaged: You and Derrick might be able to communicate more effectively if you had premarital counseling. However, if it doesn’t resolve your issues, do not marry him, regardless of how handsome he is or what a

good provider you think he will be.

To have a successful marriage, you will have to be yourself – and you and Derrick should bring out the best in each other. With help, you may be able to save the relationship. But if counseling doesn’t work, do both of you a favor and become Ms. DIS-engaged.

Dear Abby: My parents split up in 1987. They have just started dating again. What is the likelihood of them remarrying? They are in their 70s.

My concern is, what if they break up? I guess I shouldn’t worry and just appreciate the time I have with them as a new couple starting out again. Are these normal concerns? – Sweet, Caring Daughter, Sunnyside, Washington

Dear Caring Daughter: Of course your concerns are normal. You love your folks and don’t want either of them to be hurt if the romance goes off the tracks (again). Because you can’t control what happens next, cross your fingers and hope for a happy outcome.

Your parents seem to have a strong connection, and they’re old enough to know what they’re doing. Que sera, sera.

Dear Abby: My husband and I have an ongoing disagreement about food. When there is special food in the house, something we both like, he feels free to eat as much of it as he wants and not leave any for me.

His argument is that if it’s around – even if it’s frozen – I would have had “plenty of time to get my share.” I don’t

think it should be up to him to tell me how much to eat and when.

It’s particularly upsetting if I have invested hours in preparing a dish only to find that it’s gone when I want my second helping. I feel he is being inconsiderate. Am I wrong? – Where’s My Beef?

Dear Where’s: I don’t think so. Your husband is behaving like a greedy child. If you’re cooking in large quantities, try this: Prepare only enough for two portions for a while – a LONG while.

Volunteering for a study can help you, others Dear Dr. K: I have a particular disease. A nearby medical school is recruiting people with my condition to participate in a research study.

Should I volunteer?

Dear Reader: There are two good reasons to consider volunteering for a study: It might help you, and it might help others. In some types of studies, there also may be risks to you.

Sometimes my patients ask me: “Do we really need to do all these medical research studies? Don’t we know what treatments work without conducting and paying for all these studies – often with taxpayer dollars?”

That’s an easy question to answer. The history of medicine is, unfortunately, filled

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff with examples of new treatments that doctors thought should work. Indeed, most doctors predicted they would work. But when the treatments were tested, they didn’t work. Indeed, sometimes they made people worse.

And sometimes such treatments were given to many patients before a study was done to show that they were of no value, or even harmful.

Here are some things to consider as you decide whether to participate.

Every study for which you might volunteer has been

carefully designed. There is a detailed written plan specifying every question you might be asked, the kind of physical examinations that might be performed, the tests that might be ordered and any treatments you might receive.

This plan must be approved by a committee called an Institutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB includes doctors, nurses, researchers and members of the community – none of whom is involved with the study. They determine whether the study has acceptably low risks for the participants.

There are different types of studies. Observational studies simply collect detailed information from you on an ongoing basis. They do not

put you at risk. Studies like this discovered that people who smoked had a much higher risk of lung cancer.

Other studies, called clinical trials, require you to have a particular “intervention.”

The intervention might be a diagnostic test, such as a colonoscopy. Or it might be a treatment – a medicine, a surgical procedure or another therapy.

By participating in a clinical trial, you may get access to a beneficial drug or procedure that is not yet on the market.

On the other hand, there may be risks involved. One reason clinical trials are done is to determine the effectiveness of a drug and any side effects it may cause. Some clinical trials also test whether the

study’s treatment is better than no treatment at all. So, if you enroll in certain types of studies, you run the risk of being assigned to a placebo (sham) treatment.

Being in a study won’t change your regular medical care. You’ll still see your usual doctor. And typically, the study (and its treatments) cost you nothing.

Many of my patients have volunteered to participate in medical studies. None I know of has experienced a complication, but it can happen.

Some of them have benefited: Their condition improved because of the experimental treatment used in the study.

CROSSWORD

Use the bidding to guide play Joshua Foer, the 2006 American memory champion, said, “One trick, known as the journey method or ‘memory palace,’ is to conjure up a familiar space in the mind’s eye, and then populate it with images of whatever it is you want to remember.”

This week, we are looking at deals in which declarer must conjure up in his mind’s eye the tricks that he needs to make his contract. He must also remember how the auction proceeded – which is important in this deal – and picture the cards that are played by the opponents.

South is in our favorite contract of three no-trump and West leads the heart eight in answer to his partner’s overcall. How should South plan the play?

South starts with six top tricks: two spades, one heart (given the lead), one diamond and two clubs. He should play on diamonds to establish four tricks there. However, he will probably lose the lead while doing that and must try to make it impossible for the defenders to take one diamond and four hearts.

If declarer plays a low heart or the 10 from dummy at trick one, East will cover cheaply.

Here, South can then get home by ducking the trick, but that would work badly if East had king-third of diamonds. And if South takes the first trick with his king, when West gets in with his diamond king, a second heart lead will kill the contract.

Instead, declarer should play dummy’s heart queen at trick one. This forces East to win with the ace, and he cannot continue hearts without conceding a second trick in the suit.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You will be energized and ready to go. Make use of your enthusiasm and take on as many tasks as you can. You will make a new friend or romantic connection.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Financial gains are imminent. You will need to tread carefully with impatient family members. Remain calm and remember that no one is perfect, including you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Set your generous nature free. Offer assistance to those around you or volunteer your time to a community group. By helping others, you will feel better about yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t get caught up in someone else’s relationship woes. If you take sides, you will end up losing two friends instead of one. Concentrate on self-awareness and self-improvement.

of a lawsuit (no lawyer would take the case) or being fired (it won’t happen). Have a talk with your parents to see if they can encourage and guide you to lose some weight. Even though you now enjoy your body, you might discover that you will enjoy it even more if you lose some weight and do some exercise to stay fit and healthy.

comes in handy because part of it becomes our allowance for my brother and me. I know paper can be recycled into new paper products, but what happens to the aluminum cans? – Eric, Galesburg, Illinois Eric: Recycled cans are used as raw materials for making new products, including automobiles and even bridges. Recycling has another great advantage. It helps slow the rapid pace at which our landfills are filling up. Everyone wins when recycling is a way of life.

CROSSWORD

Use the bidding to guide play Joshua Foer, the 2006 American memory champion, said, “One trick, known as the journey method or ‘memory palace,’ is to conjure up a familiar space in the mind’s eye, and then populate it with images of whatever it is you want to remember.”

This week, we are looking at deals in which declarer must conjure up in his mind’s eye the tricks that he needs to make his contract. He must also remember how the auction proceeded – which is important in this deal – and picture the cards that are played by the opponents.

South is in our favorite contract of three no-trump and West leads the heart eight in answer to his partner’s overcall. How should South plan the play?

South starts with six top tricks: two spades, one heart (given the lead), one diamond and two clubs. He should play on diamonds to establish four tricks there. However, he will probably lose the lead while doing that and must try to make it impossible for the defenders to take one diamond and four hearts.

If declarer plays a low heart or the 10 from dummy at trick one, East will cover cheaply.

Here, South can then get home by ducking the trick, but that would work badly if East had king-third of diamonds. And if South takes the first trick with his king, when West gets in with his diamond king, a second heart lead will kill the contract.

Instead, declarer should play dummy’s heart queen at trick one. This forces East to win with the ace, and he cannot continue hearts without conceding a second trick in the suit.
