Matthew Ranken, 11, died Feb. 27 in a car crash.

SYCAMORE – Tonda Ranken wants to get through her first Christmas without her 11-yearold son before she thinks too much about going to court again.

On Thursday, Ranken, her

sister-in-law, her niece and her niece’s friend watched Benjamin Black, 29, admit to having heroin in his system during the Feb. 27 crash that killed Matthew Ranken.

Her oldest son, Nicholas Weber, was driving, and Weber’s girlfriend, Teale Noble, now

19, was severely injured as the front-seat passenger.

“I’m relieved that he is taking responsibility,” Tonda Ranken said Thursday. “... I’m still numb.”

Black, of the 1500 block of Sparkhayes Drive in Sycamore, was driving a Ford Expedition

on Route 64 in Kane County about 7:30 p.m. Feb. 27 when he smashed into the back of a Chevrolet Cavalier carrying Matthew, Weber and Noble. The Cavalier had been stopped for traffic backed up on Route 64 in

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Salvation Army needs volunteers

By DEBBIE BEHRENDS dbehrends@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The Salvation Army’s annual Red Kettle Campaign kicks off in DeKalb and Sycamore today with a goal of raising $70,000.

Although the bulk of the public fundraising is done in November and December, DeKalb service officer Capt.

Michael Cho said those funds support the organization all year long.

Volunteers are needed to ring bells at six locations: Schnucks, Inboden’s Meat Market, JCPenney, Hy-Vee and Walgreens in both Sycamore and DeKalb. After Thanksgiving, kettles also will be placed at Walmart and the Jewel stores in DeKalb and Sycamore.

Cho said shift times are flexible, and he invited individuals and service organizations to sign up by calling volunteer coordinator Travis Catalina at 815-501-3822.

“People sometimes have a fear of doing it if they’ve never tried it,” Cho said. “It’s a great opportunity to help your friends and neighbors, because all the money raised stays here in DeKalb County.”

Cho said funds are used to buy food for the pantry, and provide emergency assistance and funds for utility bills for area residents in need.

“These funds are crucial, and the need continues to increase,” Cho said.

Gary Billings, food pantry coordinator at The Salvation Army, said a lot more than just the Red Kettle Campaign happens there during the holiday season.

The Let’s Talk Turkey promotion is set for 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 22. Community members are invited to bring meat products, including turkeys or hams, to The Salvation

SYCAMORE – Caleb Hudson donned a hairnet and hummed to pop music as he helped seal bags of food that would be shipped to millions of starving children across the world.

Hudson, a senior at Cornerstone Christian Academy, was pressing hard on a device that sealed MannaPack Rice bags at the school’s gym. Each bag contained between 380 to 400 grams of vitamin powder, veggies, soy and rice. The ingredients are designed to increase the health of children suffering from malnutrition.

Hudson joined dozens of

energetic students Thursday to put together about 194,000 meals as part of the fourth annual Make A Difference DKC mobile-pack event for Feed My Starving Children.

“It’s a tangible way of helping people, and I like that I’m helping people,” he said.

Sycamore-based Suter Co. and the nonprofit organization Feed My Starving Children teamed up run the event, which will continue to gather volunteers to pack more food until Sunday. The meals will be given to missionary and humanitarian agencies, which will then donate them to places such as

Secret pact looks like bad deal This just in: Engineers are scrambling to build an instrument accurate yet sturdy enough to measure just how disgusted Americans are with the highly paid, generously benefitted people in Washington, D.C. who supposedly work for us.

Congress’s approval rating this week is 9 percent, according to Gallup.

Nine. President Barack Obama’s approval rating is 39 percent, the lowest of his presidency (also Gallup).

One big reason for these miserable report cards is that the legislative and executive branches just can’t seem to agree on anything.

So it’s noteworthy that this week, almost three dozen House of Representatives members ranging from deep-red Republicans to deep-blue Democrats publicly agreed on something.

They agreed to publicly condemn the president’s proposed trade agreement with 11 Pacific nations collectively known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

On Wednesday, 22 Republicans and 12 Democrats released letters blasting the president’s attempts to get the TPP signed via “fast track,” a power essentially giving the president the ability to bring trade deals to Congress without letting Congress (or staff) debate or even see the details.

“Under fast track, the executive branch is empowered to sign trade agreements before Congress has an opportunity to vote on them, and then unilaterally write legislation making the pacts’ terms U.S. federal law,” the GOP letter reads.

I agree with the bipartisan condemnation. The TPP is an extraordinarily bad idea that will make already bloated

THE FINE LINE Jason Akst corporations (about 600 of them) much richer while worsening the lives of ordinary Americans – indeed, the lives of ordinary people everywhere.

The president should abandon the entire proposal immediately and should be ashamed for endorsing it in the first place.

I haven’t seen the actual contract.

Nor has Congress. Nor has nearly anyone because of the extreme secrecy with which negotiations have been handled.

WikiLeaks released the intellectual property rights chapter of the contract Wednesday.

In the blunt but accurate words of writer/researcher Andrew Gavin Marshall, TPP is “the most secretive trade negotiations in history, with no public oversight, input, or consultations.”

Jim Hightower, a former commissioner of the Texas Department of Agriculture and now a syndicated columnist, gives us a taste (pun intended) of how bad TPP is with regard to food safety.

“Any of our government’s food safety regulations (on pesticide levels, bacterial contamination, fecal exposure, toxic additives, etc.) and food labeling laws (organic, country-of-origin, animal-welfare approved, GMO-free, etc.) that are stricter than ‘international standards’ could be ruled as ‘illegal trade barriers,’ ” he writes. “Our government would then have to revise our consumer protections to comply with

weaker standards.”

Similar concerns surround the devastation of safeguards in areas like U.S. job loss, environmental regulations, banking, internet freedom, and public utilities.

On banking, Hightower notes that TPP “explicitly prohibits transaction taxes (such as the proposed Robin Hood Tax here) that would shut down speculators who have repeatedly triggered financial crises and economic crashes around the world. It restricts ‘firewall’ reforms that separate consumer banking from risky investment banking. It could roll back reforms that governments adopted to fix the extreme bank-deregulation regimen that caused Wall Street’s 2007 crash. And it provides an escape from national rules that would limit the size of ‘too-big-tofail’ behemoths.”

Besides the U.S., the TPP includes Australia, Peru, Malaysia, Vietnam, New Zealand, Chile, Singapore, Brunei, Canada, Mexico, and Japan.

Together, that’s 40 percent of the global economy. If passed, TPP would make all other trade agreements in modern history look puny by comparison.

Obsessing about politics gives me no pleasure. In fact, it makes me queasy.

So here’s the TPP take-away: When unabashed liberals AND conservatives scream that this is a bad deal that will hurt America, something is terribly wrong.

By KEVIN CAUFIELD The (LaSalle) News-Tribune LASALLE – Mary Ann Baughan was devastated when she heard her 10-yearold Australian Shepherd “Sophie” had breast cancer.

Baughan was told Sophie would need an emergency double mastectomy surgery and be spayed. It was unlikely she would survive the procedure.

“There was no guarantee that she would survive, and I couldn’t put her through that,” Baughan said.

That’s when a friend told her about an alternative philosophy to traditional veterinarian medicine that incorporates a holistic approach.

Baughan found a holistic veterinarian and credits the change with prolonging Sophie’s life for two years.

“We put her on a regimen of essential oils, herbs and different natural supplements,” Baughan said. “It didn’t cure the cancer but it helped keep it from spread-

If I had the surgery done, I wouldn’t have had those two years with her.”

A growing number of pet owners are taking a holistic

approach to veterinarian care. They laud the longterm results.

Among the most popular is Dr. Susan Albright, who operates a veterinary clinic

in Chenoa. Her clinic does both traditional medicine and alternative therapies.

Albright explained that holistic veterinary medicine involves the examination and diagnosis of an animal, considering all aspects of the animal’s life and employing all of the practitioner’s senses, as well as the combination of conventional, alternative and complementary modalities of treatment.

“I can make the dog stop itching no problem with steroids, but then we have to deal with the side effects and we’re still not addressing the root of the problem,” she explained.

Holistic veterinarian treatments take their cues from the same Eastern medicines practiced today on people. They include a comprehensive physical examination to learn about the pet’s behaviors, distant medical and dietary history, and its environment including diet, emotional stresses and other factors.

Crime boss Whitey Bulger sentenced to life in prison

By DENISE LAVOIE The Associated Press BOSTON – Former Boston crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger was led off to prison Thursday for the rest of his life, accepting his punishment in stone-faced silence as a judge castigated the 84-yearold gangster for his “almost unfathomable” depravity.

Bulger’s sentencing for his murderous reign in the 1970s and ’80s brought to a close a sordid case that exposed FBI complicity in his crimes and left a trail of devastated families whose loved ones were killed by Bulger or his henchmen.

Many of the relatives had vented their anger at Bulger during the first day of his sentencing hearing Wednesday, calling him a “terrorist,” a

“punk” and “Satan.”

So when U.S. District Judge Denise Casper announced the punishment – two consecutive life sentences plus five years – there were no shouts of joy or applause from the families, just silence.

Afterward, many said they took some satisfaction in knowing that Bulger will spend the rest of his life behind bars. “[He] is finally going to prison. He’s going to die in prison,” said Tom Donahue, whose father was gunned down by Bulger after he happened to offer a ride home to a man who was Bulger’s actual target.

Bulger, the former boss of the Winter Hill Gang, Boston’s Irish mob, fled the city in 1994 after being tipped off

Sandra Patient, niece of Arthur “Bucky” Barrett, holds a photo of Barrett as she hugs Patricia Donahue, wife of the slain Michael Donahue, outside federal court Thursday in Boston. by a former FBI agent that he was about to be indicted. He was a fugitive for more than 16 years until he was captured in Santa Monica, Calif.,

in 2011.

His disappearance became a major embarrassment for the FBI when it was learned that corrupt agents had taken

bribes from Bulger and protected him for years while he worked as an FBI informant, feeding information on the rival New England Mafia.

A jury convicted Bulger in August in a broad racketeering case. He was found guilty in 11 of the 19 killings he was accused of, along with dozens of other gangland crimes, including shakedowns and money laundering.

At his sentencing, the judge read off the names of the 11. She told Bulger she sometimes wished that she and everyone else at his trial were watching a movie because the horrors described – including stranglings and shootings – were so awful.

County agencies join forces on ‘triad’ to support seniors

Aiming for world record Sycamore teen leads classmates in cup-stacking

By ANDREA AZZO aazzo@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Stacking cups is so easy for 13-year-old Jeff Ward that he can do it blindfolded.

Ward was among hundreds of Sycamore Middle School students who participated in the Stack Up! event Thursday as part of Guinness World Records Day. The school might have helped break a world record for “most people sport-stacking in multiple locations.” Organizers expected more than 500,000 people worldwide to participate in the cup-stacking event, which would beat last year’s record of 483,658 people.

Jeff, a Team USA Sport Stacking member who is second in the state, said he started cup-stacking after seeing a YouTube video.

“The girl [in the video] was going really fast, and I wanted to go as fast as her,” he said.

“Now, I’m faster.”

Jeff can complete a cycle, which consists of stacking and unstacking various formations, in fewer than six seconds.

“When I first started, I would have a lot of focus, but when you’re going really fast, you don’t even know what you’re doing,” Jeff said.

Students crowded the cafeteria to watch the world-class cup-stacker.

“It looked like his hands were in fast-forward,” said Sophie McComb, 12. “He obviously has great hand-eye coordination. It’s almost scary how fast he was.”

It was Sophie’s first time seeing Ward stack cups.

Griffin Gower, 12, is more accustomed to witnessing Jeff’s athletic abilities. Griffin has played soccer with Jeff.

“He can handle the ball in soccer really well,” Griffin said.

Pam Nelson, Sycamore Middle School physical education and health teacher, offers

her students a coordination unit in which students learn to stack cups for a few weeks.

Ward helped put the sport on the map in Sycamore.

“Jeff is a very humble person,” she said. “He’s not going to brag to others when he’s showing what he can do. It’s absolutely amazing. You have to be able to celebrate what he’s able to do.”

Cup-stacking uses bilateral proficiency, Nelson said, which is when both sides of the brain are used.

Jeff has been cup-stacking for 3½ years. He practices daily for about 45 minutes and participates in tournaments.

He said he could be a professional sport-stacker when he gets older, but for now, he’s focusing on school.

“I’m planning to take geometry and pre-AP English, so there are a lot of options open for me,” he said.

Online verification numbers will be sent to the World Sport Stacking Association, which will pass the total count to Guinness World Records, to determine whether the event broke last year’s record.

DeKalb County officials signed an agreement Thursday to start a triad for area senior citizens.

Law enforcement, elderly care facilities and community service organizations will cooperate to come up with senior citizen programs that are responsive within the community, said Dave Miller, Family Service Agency representative.

The triad will help protect seniors against fraud and abuse, and offer emergency response strategies.

Ann Carlson, Sycamore police officer, will be the president of the organization, which will be similar to ones already in place in several other cities across the country.

“We’re trying to create a partnership to network between law enforcement, the senior population and the community to make sure

needs are being met,” Carlson said. “We’re doing all we can do to help them.”

The DeKalb County Triad will mirror the triad in Elgin, Carlson said. Elgin’s triad offers an annual picnic, vehicle inspection checks and surveys, to name a few of its services.

Carlson and Miller said the local senior citizen population is growing. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2012, 10.4 percent of DeKalb County’s population consisted of people who are 65 years old or older.

“Now is the time to put programs like the triad in place to start building infrastructure and support the growing senior population,” Miller said.

Triad members will survey senior citizens to determine what they think their needs are, Miller said. The survey, which will be used as a planning tool, will ask seniors what programs will benefit them and what their

concerns are, Miller said.

The organization will also distribute emergency forms with lists of medical contacts, what medicines the seniors are taking and who their doctors are, Miller said.

Future programs include offering a Yellow Dot car program, which assists seniors in the event of a car accident, and a fashion show that will teach seniors how to distinguish whether someone at the door is a legitimate official, Miller said.

There is no source of funding for the triad, Carlson said. For now, the program will rely on volunteer efforts and personnel who already have signed the agreement.

DeKalb police Chief Gene Lowery said the triad will supplement the services the DeKalb Police Department already provides for seniors.

“Every time multiple agencies join forces, we have a greater probability in accomplishing a goal,” Lowery said.

Pickup for electronic recycling was scheduled for Saturday and Dec. 21. Public works officials said pickup has been canceled because of a possible miscommunication on the part of their vendors. The schedule for pickup next year has yet

to be decided and officials are finalizing dates.

For more information, call the Sycamore Public Works Department at 815-895-3545 or visit www.cityofsycamore. com.

By CHRISTI WARREN cwarren@shawmedia.com DIXON – The body of an Iowa man found Wednesday along Interstate 88 wasn’t discovered until nearly 12 hours after police first received a call about the man from a motorist.

Illinois State Police on Thursday identified the man as Lee E. Catlin, 65, of Bettendorf. His body was found on I-88 just west of Dixon, next to the Hoyle Road overpass, his feet pointing toward the road.

Police said they didn’t know how the man got there or what was the cause of his death.

Catlin was found about 8 a.m. Wednesday, almost 12 hours after Bob Brouch, 52, made a 911 call to report a man on the shoulder of the

highway.

Brouch and his wife were driving back home to Aurora from the Quad Cities.

“All of a sudden, there’s this person lying on the side of the road waving his arms, and I’m shocked, startled,” Brouch said. “I pull over, and I had to back up just maybe 10 yards so I could read a mile marker.”

At 8:40 p.m., he called 911, and a woman’s voice answered.

“I told her, ‘There’s a person lying on the side of 88 waving his arms toward traffic,’ ” Brouch said.

He relayed his location and the mile marker to the woman on the phone – twice, he thinks.

Bruce Rauner is one of four men seeking the Republican nomination to run for governor.

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Republican Bruce Rauner has made a $500,000 donation to his campaign for Illinois governor, lifting the caps on political contributions for everyone in the 2014 race and ensuring a big-money battle for the state’s top job.

The personal donation removes from the race a key piece of campaign finance reforms that lawmakers approved in the wake of the scandal involving now-imprisoned former Gov. Rod Blagojevich. And if Rauner

doesn’t win the four-way GOP primary, his move could end up providing an unintended fundraising advantage to Gov. Pat Quinn, who has no major challenger for the Democratic nomination.

Rauner campaign spokesman Mike Schrimpf said the donation was made Wednesday. It will help pay for tele-

vision ads that the wealthy businessman and political newcomer plans as he tries to increase his name recognition.

Rauner’s goal is to use his wealth – and his ability to raise money from others – to drown out his primary rivals and wage a full-throttled attack on Quinn. But his opponents and political observers note the contribution and the ads are also a sign Rauner needs to spend money that the others don’t feel they need to spend at this point in the campaign.

His fellow GOP candidates – state Sens. Bill Brady and

Kirk Dillard and state Treasurer Dan Rutherford – all are better-known to voters because they’ve held public office for years.

State campaign finance law limits how much money may be donated to campaigns: $5,300 for individuals and $52,600 for political action committees. But it also states that if any candidate contributes more than $250,000 to his or her own race, the limits come off for all candidates vying for the office.

Rauner’s latest donation brings his personal contributions to his campaign to $749,000.

Suspect sought in DeKalb parking lot shooting DeKALB – DeKalb police are searching for a 27-year-old DeKalb man they suspect of firing shots Wednesday during a fight in an apartment complex parking lot.

An arrest warrant was issued Thursday for Benjamin L. Evans, according to police. He Benjamin L. was charged Evans with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon and aggravated discharge of a firearm. Bond was set at $250,000.

Police did not have a current address for Evans, Lt. James McDougall said.

Evans is accused of pulling out a handgun during a fight between two groups of men about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday at James Court Apartments, McDougall said. The men were arguing outside the complex,

which is on North First Street near Bethany Road, when Evans began shooting at his adversaries’ vehicle, McDougall said.

Anyone with information on Evans’ whereabouts should call DeKalb police at 815-748-8400.

They also can contact DeKalb County Crime Stoppers at 815895-3272 or email crimestoppers@dekalbcounty.org. Crime Stoppers will pay a cash reward up to $1,000 and reports can be made anonymously.

Board-breaking marathon to benefit local family Bill Cho’s United Tae Kwon Do Center will host a breaka-thon fundraiser from 5 to 8 p.m. today to help the Neppl family with their medical bills.

Tyler Neppl, 8, of Sycamore was diagnosed Tyler Neppl as an infant with neurofibromatosis type 1, a genetic disorder that causes rapid

tumor growth. The disorder affects about one in every 3,000 children, and has no cure.

Tyler has several tumors on his eyes, leg and brain. A new treatment, which will last a year, is expected to cause side effects such as depression, difficulty concentrating and a general feeling of being unwell.

At today’s fundraiser, participants are invited to learn how to break boards and to break as many as they like, at $2 a board, at the center at 1598 DeKalb Ave. in Sycamore. There also will be pizza and raffles. For more information, call 815-8952008.

Donations also can be made to the Tyler Neppl Fund at National Bank & Trust Co. locations.

Hiawatha FFA grain show, auction will be Saturday KIRKLAND – The Hiawatha High School FFA chapter is hosting its 76th annual grain show and auction Saturday.

Adviser Joshua Dodge said

the grain show starts at noon, dinner is served at 5:30 p.m. and the auction begins at 7 p.m.

Dinner, which costs about $5, is served by the FFA alumni.

“The grain show is primarily for members, but we’re really trying to promote the auction,” Dodge said.

Members have collected items for the auction including tools, farm toys, gift certificates, bags of seed corn and even a couple of fertilizer applications.

“It’s geared toward agriculture, but it’s not all ag stuff,” Dodge said.

Todd Wills of Monroe Center will serve as auctioneer.

Funds raised help FFA members attend state and national conventions. Dodge said members are collecting nonperishable food items for the local food pantry and growing poinsettias in the greenhouse.

Members also recently did a roadside clean up as part of the county’s Adopt-a-Road program.

istered to perform hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” since the state started signups last month, and it will be at least a year until fracking begins.

“I think the companies want to see how the rules are going to come out,” Miller said.

Fracking uses high-pressure mixtures of water, sand or gravel and chemicals to crack underground rock formations and release oil and natural gas.

Regulations signed into law by the governor were hailed as among the toughest in the nation. The DNR must adopt rules to reflect the law.

The law requires companies to disclose chemicals to the DNR, test water before and after fracking and assume liability for contamination.

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois regulators plan to publicly release proposed rules for hydraulic fracturing “very soon,” but it will be months before any permits are issued because the state must get the public’s feedback before rules can be finalized, according to environmental officials.

Marc Miller, director of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, told The Springfield State Journal-Register that new state regulations for the practice are nearly complete.

DNR spokesman Chris McCloud told The Associated Press in an email Thursday that the proposed regulations will be made public “very soon.”

Miller told the newspaper that no companies have reg-

er information that she received, or something to that effect, and that there was a response underway,” Brouch said. “They said someone was on the way.”

According to a news release, state police were dispatched to a call reporting a man on the shoulder, but they were unable to find anyone or any activity in the area.

“I moved on because I was assured that my call was consistent with other information and that I had been assured a response was being made,” Brouch said.

An autopsy Thursday by the Lee County coroner’s office did determine foul play was not a factor.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Illinois State Police at 815-632-4010, ext. 220.

Obama reverses course to allow canceled health plans Travel for 50+ Club

By DAVID ESPO and JULIE PACE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – His personal and political credibility on the line, President Barack Obama reversed course Thursday and said millions of Americans should be allowed to renew individual coverage plans now ticketed for cancellation under the health care law that is likely to be at the heart of the 2014 elections.

The immediate impact on consumers was unclear, although both industry spokesmen and state insurance commissioners swiftly warned that higher prices could result from the president’s rapid turnaround.

Under pressure from consumers as well as congressional Democrats, Obama said the administration no longer would require insurance companies to jettison current individual and small group plans that fall short of the minimum coverage standards under the law, effectively shifting responsibility for cancellations to the industry itself.

Speaking of the millions of people whose coverage is being scrapped, he said, “What we want to do is to be able to say to these folks, you know what, the Affordable Care Act is not going to be the reason why insurers have to cancel your plan.”

Obama spoke at a news conference where he repeatedly took responsibility for the woeful rollout of the health care program known by his name.

Officials disclosed Wednesday that fewer than 27,000 enrollments were completed in 36 states in the first month of operations for www.healthcare. gov .

Including enrollment of more than 79,000 in the 14 states with their own websites, the nationwide number was 106,000 for October sign-ups.

But that is still far fewer than expected and a mere fraction

President Barack Obama speaks about his signature health care law Thursday in the Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House in Washington. of the cancellation notices that have gone out because of the law – more than four million according to an Associated Press survey.

Obama’s approval ratings in polls are also ebbing, and he readily conceded that after recent events, the public can legitimately “expect me to have to win back some credibility on this health care law in particular and on a whole range of these issues in general.”

The president also sought to shelter from political fallout any congressional Democrats who echoed the promise he repeated often when the legislation was under consideration in Congress – that anyone who liked his or her coverage would be able to keep it. “They were entirely sincere about it,” he said of the lawmakers. “It’s not on them, it’s on us.”

Shortly after Obama spoke, the major industry trade group, America’s Health Insurance Plans, warned in a statement that prices might rise as a result of his new policy. “Changing the rules after health plans have already met the requirements of the law could destabilize the market and result in higher premiums for consumers,” it said.

A few hours later, the head

of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners added a fresh word of caution.

Louisiana Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon, president of the group, said Obama’s proposal could lead to higher premiums and market disruptions next year and beyond.

“In addition, it is unclear how, as a practical matter, the changes proposed today by the president can be put into effect.

In many states, cancellation notices have already gone out to policyholders and rates and plans have already been approved for 2014,” he added.

Until the president made his announcement, the administration had been assuming that individuals currently covered by plans marked for cancellation would switch to alternatives offered in government-established exchanges. If so, they would be joining millions of others who have lacked insurance in the past.

The people with current individual coverage are a known risk to insurers. But those without generally have had less access to medical services, and are most costly to care for. The theory has been that moving people with current coverage into the new markets would help stabilize premiums.

Money preferred form of charity for typhoon relief

By SHARON COHEN The Associated Press

AP photo

Typhoon survivors line up to get fuel from an abandoned filling station Thursday in Tacloban, in the central Philippines. Aid has been slow to reach the half-million people displaced by the storm that tore across several islands in the eastern Philippines.

Mass burial held in Philippine city

By KRISTEN GELINEA and OLIVER TEVES The Associated Press TACLOBAN, Philippines – The air was thick with the stench of decay as sweating workers lowered the plastic coffins one by one into a grave the size of an Olympic swimming pool.

Scores of unidentified bodies were interred together Thursday in a hillside cemetery without any ritual – the first mass burial in this city shattered by last week’s Typhoon Haiyan.

Six days after the disaster, some progress was being made in providing food, water and medical aid to the half-million people displaced in the Philippines.

Massive bottlenecks blocking the distribution of international assistance have begun to clear.

Soldiers on trucks gave

out rice and water, and chainsaw-wielding teams cut debris from blocked roads to clear the way for relief trucks in Tacloban, the capital of the hardest-hit Leyte province.

Thousands of people continued to swarm Tacloban’s damaged airport, desperate to leave or to get treatment at a makeshift medical center.

“We know the gravity of our countrymen’s suffering, and we know that, now more than ever, all of us are called on to do whatever we can to help alleviate our countrymen’s suffering,” President Benigno S. Aquino III said in a statement.

Authorities say 2,357 people have been confirmed dead, a figure that is expected to rise, perhaps significantly, when information is collected from other areas of the disaster zone.

With sweat rolling down their faces, John Cajipe, 31,

and three teenage boys who work at the Tacloban cemetery placed the first body in the grave’s right-hand corner.

The second body followed two minutes later, carefully placed alongside the first.

And so on, until scores of coffins filled the 6-foot deep grave. A ritual to sprinkle holy water on the site is expected to be held today, one week after the typhoon struck.

A portion of the femur was removed from each corpse by the National Bureau of Investigation. Technicians will extract DNA from each bit of bone to try to identify the dead, said Joseph David, crime photographer for the bureau.

“I hope this is the last time I see something like this,” said Mayor Alfred Romualdez. “When I look at this, it just reminds me of what has

happened from the day the storm hit until today.”

The massive flow of international aid was bolstered by Thursday’s arrival of the USS George Washington in the Philippine Sea near the Gulf of Leyte.

The aircraft carrier will set up a position off the coast of Samar Island to assess the damage and provide medical and water supplies, the 7th Fleet said in a statement.

The carrier and its strike group together bring 21 helicopters to the area, which can help reach the most inaccessible parts of the disaster zone.

The United Kingdom also is sending an aircraft carrier, the HMS Illustrious, with seven helicopters and facilities to produce fresh water, Britain’s Ministry of Defense said. It said the ship is expected to reach the area around Nov. 25.

Faced with heartbreaking images of the typhoon-ravaged Philippines – the sea of corpses, communities reduced to rubble, mothers clutching their hungry children – the world is watching an epic tragedy unfold and looking for ways to help. The big question is how?

In the aftermath of mega disasters such as Typhoon Haiyan, experts say there are some basic rules for those eager to do good: Forget the rummage sale clothes, the old toys and the kind of supplies that will only stack up undistributed or damage an already weakened economy. Do send a cash donation to a respected charity.

“It absolutely should be money,” said Kathleen Tierney, director of the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado-Boulder, a clearinghouse and research group on the social aspects and impacts of disasters around the world. “Whether it’s the U.S. or abroad, one thing that typically happens after a major disaster is people want to donate stuff. This creates enormous logistical problems ... and people receiving donations they could never conceivably use, like win-

To help Red Cross: www.redcross.org World Vision: www.worldvision. org CARE: www.care.org Natural Hazards Center: www. colorado.edu/hazards ter coats sent to people in the Caribbean.”

When disaster aid isn’t properly thought out, “you can end up undermining the local economy,” Tierney adds.

“Once you ship building materials halfway around the world, it turns out you’ve ruined the market” for those in the area. “If you want to see economic recovery, you don’t want to send so many supplies that you create a situation where people can’t survive in a business sense.”

The Red Cross, for instance, buys goods locally or domestically after disasters to help revive the economy, curb transportation costs and help guarantee culturally appropriate items are being used, said Jana Sweeny, the organization’s director of international communications.

Sweeny said there’s a natural tendency for people to want to help after headline-making catastrophes, but that altruism can sometimes be misguided.

Boys more likely to be born early

By LAURAN NEERGAARD The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Boys are slightly more likely to be born premature than girls, and they tend to fare worse, too, according to a new report on the health of the world’s newborns.

“This is a double whammy for boys,” said Dr. Joy Lawn of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, who led the team of researchers. “It’s a pattern that happens all over the world.”

The gender difference isn’t large: About 55 percent of preterm births in 2010 were male, the report found. Nor is it clear why it happens.

The finding comes from a series of international studies being published today that examine newborn health and prematurity. About 15 million babies worldwide are born too soon, most of them in Africa and parts of Asia where survival is difficult for fragile newborns.

Globally, about 1 million babies die as a direct result of preterm birth and another million die of conditions for which prematurity is an added risk, the researchers calculated.

The report offers some of the first estimates of how many preemie survivors go on to suffer certain disabilities, and found that where these babies are born, and how early, determines their risk.

Overall, Lawn said about 7 percent of survivors have two of the most burdensome disabilities: neurologic-developmental impairment ranging from learning disabilities to cerebral palsy, and vision loss. But the biggest risk is to the youngest preemies, those born before 28 weeks gestation. Worldwide, 52 percent of them are estimated to have some degree of neurodevelopmental impairment, the report found.

Food packing continues today in Sycamore • MEALS Continued from page A1 schools and orphanages in impoverished parts of the world.

Tim Suter, president and CEO of Suter Co., said Cornerstone Christian was chosen because the staff was willing to offer the facility to help pack the meals. Many volunteers with Feed My Starving Children tend to be young people, and he said the events are a good experience for them.

“It’s a great way for many of these kids – some of them for the first time – to volunteer and, hopefully, as they get older they continue to volunteer,” he said.

Feed My Starving Children is a nonprofit organization that distributes meals to starving children in 70 countries worldwide, according to a news release.

The meals have been developed by food scientists to be digestible for children suffering from malnutrition and also help them become healthier, said Sarah Hauser, a mobile-pack team leader with the organization.

“We believe food is the first step to a sustainable development,” Hauser said.

Without proper nutrition, children will have a hard time attending school or going through job training, she said. During a video presentation, the MannaPack meals were noted as something that could help young people become strong enough to create change in their communities.

Despite the seriousness of the task at hand, the students and helping staff members were laughing and singing to music playing through the speakers as they packaged each meal. Volunteers were

encouraged to cheer after putting together a box full of meals. Groups of people were assigned different tasks, such as transporting the ingredients, packaging them and putting them on palettes for a

truck waiting outside.

Each palette of 36 boxes would carry 7,700 meals, said Michelle Henn, Feed My Starving Children MobilePack supervisor. She said by Sunday, Feed My Starving

Children hopes to pack more than 800,000 meals. Today, the event will continue at Suter Co., 1015 W. Bethany Road.

Henn said that the organization has received increased meal requests, especially in light of natural disasters such as Typhoon Haiyan. In just the two or so hours students spend packing meals, they can develop a desire to want to do more volunteer work, she said.

“The hands-on experience for the kids can really pull them into a life of service,” she said.

Eighth-grader Sydney Blackburn was scooping up cups of rice and pouring them into bags along with other ingredients. She’s participated in the mobile pack events before, and she said she enjoys being in them.

“It’s fun to help kids who are starving and know I can make a difference,” she said.

Yellen stands

by Fed’s low rate policies

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Janet Yellen made clear Thursday that she’s prepared to stand by the Federal Reserve’s extraordinary efforts to pump up the economy when she’s chairman, if that’s what it needs.

During a two-hour confirmation hearing before the Senate Banking Committee, Yellen embraced her so-called “dovish” reputation and expressed strong support for the Fed’s low interest-rate policies. And she warned critics that any potential harm those policies pose are outweighed by the risk of leaving a stillweak economy to survive without them.

“I believe that supporting the recovery today is the surest path to returning to a more normal approach to monetary policy,” she said.

Yellen faced tough questions, particularly from Republicans. But she also drew praise from senators in both parties and is expected to be confirmed by the full Senate, becoming the first woman to lead the powerful central bank.

A committee aide said that Banking Chairman Tim Johnson, D-S.D., plans a vote as soon as possible, potentially next week.

Dems target tax breaks

By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Democrats’ new mantra in budget talks is to close tax loopholes for certain businesses, investors and professionals as a way to raise more revenue to help ease autopilot spending cuts that soon are to become more painful.

On their list: Deductions for corporations that pay executives in stock options instead of salaries, reduced tax rates for hedge fund managers and private equity advisers, avenues for escaping corporate taxes on foreign profits, and provisions that help those who incorporate themselves avoid Medicare taxes.

Democratic budget negotiators in Congress see cutting these and other tax breaks as a politically popular way to raise revenues and ease spending cuts without further swelling the deficit. Republi-

cans say they are open to ending some special tax breaks, but they insist the new revenue be used to lower tax rates, not to increase spending.

The dispute played out this week as the negotiators tasked with merging competing budgets written by House Republicans and Senate Democrats met for only the second time in public.

Among the tax breaks Democrats are highlighting: • Lower tax rates for hedge fund managers and private equity advisers. They often report the fees they earn as capital gains, which have a top tax rate of 23.8 percent. If the income, known as “carried interest,” were taxed like regular wages, they would be taxed at a top rate of 39.6 percent. Taxing carried interest as regular income would raise $16 billion over the next decade, according to President Barack Obama’s 2014 budget proposal.

• Wealthy entrepreneurs, consultants, lawyers, doctors and other professionals can avoid Medicare payroll taxes by setting up corporations and accepting the bulk of their compensation as business income instead of wages. All wages are subject to the 2.9 percent Medicare tax. An additional 0.9 percent tax is applied to wages above $125,000 for a single person and $250,000 for a married couple filing jointly. Business income, on the other hand, is not subject to Medicare taxes.

Ending this tax break would raise $12 billion over the next decade, according to an estimate by Democratic aides.

• The mortgage interest deduction for vacation homes and yachts. Taxpayers can deduct mortgage interest paid on second homes, including mobile homes, house trailers, or boats that have sleeping, cooking and toilet facilities, according to the IRS.

8NATION BRIEF Mobility for young adults drops to 50-year low WASHINGTON – U.S. mobility for young adults has fallen to the lowest level in more than 50 years as cashstrapped 20-somethings shun home-buying and refrain from moves in a weak job market.

• GUILTY Continued from page A1 western Kane County because of another crash more than a mile away.

Noble suffered a cracked skull, but during medical treatment, learned she was about two weeks pregnant.

She and Weber are expecting their son to be born soon, and plan to name him Jett Matthew, partially in honor of the uncle he never will meet, Tonda Ranken said.

“Nicholas at the beginning couldn’t understand why he lived and Matthew had to die,” Tonda Ranken said. “He thought it should have been him. Of course, I thought it should have been nobody.”

But, after he learned of the pregnancy, he reasoned Matthew, the backseat passenger,

had been protecting the baby, Tonda Ranken said.

“I think just that gave him some hope,” she said. “We all grieve so differently.”

The Rankens plan to pick out a memorial bench Saturday that will be installed at Sycamore Lake Rotary Park.

Matthew was a fifth-grader at North Elementary School in Sycamore who played football in the Sycamore Youth Football League and enjoyed fishing.

Tonda Ranken also is considering asking family members to buy Christmas ornaments that remind them of Matthew so they can decorate a small Christmas tree this holiday season in his honor.

“I just want to get through the holidays, and then we’re going to work on our victim impact statements,” Tonda Ranken said.

Family members will be able to read their victim impact statements during Black’s sentencing hearing March 20.

Kane County Circuit Judge James Hallock could sentence Black to between three and 14 years in prison for aggravated driving under the influence. Probation would be an option only if Hallock found extraordinary circumstances existed.

Hallock will consider Black’s criminal history and his general background, and Black could make a statement on his own behalf. Hallock also could hear how the Ranken and Noble families have been affected by Black’s actions that night.

“How do you express?”

Tonda Ranken said. “There’s no words to express how much we miss [Matthew].”

Obama can’t keep promise

It’s Hillary! It’s Elizabeth! It’s hilarious Yes, it’s too early to talk about the 2016 presidential race.

Yes, it’s foolish to describe Hillary Clinton as already the unstoppable Democratic nominee.

And yes, it’s just this side of hallucinatory to claim that even if it’s not Hillary, the Democratic Party is unified to elect a female president.

But oh, how I’m lovin’ this conversation.

I’ve waited my entire adult life for this moment, when so many male reporters and pundits are trying to figure out not whether a woman but which woman will be elected president of the United States.

New Republic’s Noam Scheiber has generated the biggest buzz in political pundit land this week with his cover story, which laid out how Clinton could lose her party’s nomination to another woman.

My favorite paragraph: “Which brings us to the probable face of the insurgency. In addition to being strongly identified with the party’s populist wing, any candidate who challenged Clinton would need several key assets. The candidate would almost certainly have to be a woman, given Democrats’ desire to make history again.

“She would have to amass huge piles of money with relatively little effort.

“Above all, she would have to awaken in Democratic voters an almost evangelical passion. As it happens, there is precisely such a person. Her name is Elizabeth Warren.”

The candidate would almost certainly have to be a woman.

Pinch me.

Now, Sen. Warren has said repeatedly she is not running for president. “No, no, no, no,” she told The Boston Globe.

When the reporter asked whether she

VIEWS Connie Schultz really meant it – what wife hasn’t had that conversation? – she added a fifth “no.” She also, earlier this year, joined every female member of the Senate Democratic caucus in signing a secret-until-it-wasn’t letter urging Clinton to run.

I will take this remarkable woman at her word, but I just love the rampant speculation tagging not one but two women as contenders for president.

Harold Meyerson wrote this week for The Washington Post that “the surest way [Clinton] can alienate significant segments of her party – perhaps to the point of enabling a progressive populist such as ...

Warren ... to enter the race – is to surround herself with the same economic crew that led her husband to untether Wall Street and that persuaded Obama, at least in his first term, to go easy on the banks.”

Chris Cillizza, also for the Post, wrote: “As Clinton learned in 2008, a candidate that appeals to voters’ hearts can beat a candidate that appeals to their heads. And Clinton, for all of her built-in advantages in a 2016 race, will be hard pressed to ever be the heart candidate of the party base.

“Elizabeth Warren would be that candidate the minute she signals her interest in running. That fact should scare Clinton and her political team.”

I have no idea what he means with that “heart” thing, but neither does he, so it’s all good.

I could give you 10 more quotations from 10 other male pundits speculating on the Hillary vs. Elizabeth scenario. Maybe

that’s because, even in 2013, there are still a lot more men than women paid to give their opinions. I’m sure news organizations have been meaning to fix that. For decades.

I should mention that a few male commentators have been less equivocal about Hillary’s chances. At least one, I mean.

“I think she’d be very tough to beat now,” George Clooney told NBC News.

“And you know, all of the things that people thought of her as polarizing in 2008 don’t exist at all [anymore].”

I realize he is neither a pundit nor a reporter, but please, he’s George Clooney.

And he talked to NBC Entertainment “exclusively.”

Mercy.

Speaking of NBC, its news operation’s poll this week shows Clinton beating New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie by 10 points in a hypothetical presidential race. That means absolutely nothing this early, but William Whalen is all over this one.

In a column for The Wall Street Journal, Whalen offered battle tips to the GOP for the upcoming “ ‘war on women’ trope.” It won’t be easy defeating Clinton, he wrote, in part because of the “guilt-ridden reporters [who] want to even the score after ditching her for Barack Obama in 2008.”

And this: “Personal insults from the GOP will prompt the media to add victimhood to her saintly profile.”

Because nothing screams “presidential” like a woman scorned, you understand.

• Connie Schultz is a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and an essayist for Parade magazine. She is the author of two books, including “...and His Lovely Wife,” which chronicled the successful race of her husband, Sherrod Brown, for the U.S. Senate.

Snapchat’s CEO smart to turn down $3 billion

By MATT McFARLAND The Washington Post Snapchat’s 23-year-old co-founder Evan Spiegel recently turned down a $3 billion offer from Facebook to buy his popular photo- and video-sharing app. Snapchat has no revenue, but Spiegel made the right move. Here are five reasons why:

1. Facebook is a terrible fit for Snapchat.

Facebook has done wonderful things to connect people and change lives. It has also played a major role in ushering in an era of less privacy than ever. Snapchat is a brilliant response to Facebook’s desire to share your personal information with nearly everyone.

Snapchat is succeeding because it is the anti-Facebook. Unlike most social networks, Snapchat emphasizes privacy.

Photos that are shared generally vanish within seconds. The app’s popularity is a sign that people want to take back some privacy in the online world. Do all 300 of your Facebook friends need to see that embarrassing photo of you? With Snapchat,

you can send it to one person, and have it disappear after a second.

If Spiegel sold to Facebook, his users might feel less secure, and might use Snapchat less. Or Facebook might succumb to the urge to alter Snapchat’s best selling point, its private nature.

2. It’s more fun to run your own company and shoot for the stars.

Every start-up dreams of being the next Google or Facebook: a company worth billions that changes the world and is dominant for years. When a founder sells, that dream dies. Cashing in means limiting how big Snapchat could become, and how large a role Spiegel can play. Google turned down offers to be bought by Yahoo, and later surpassed Yahoo in value and impact.

If Spiegel thinks Snapchat could be as big or bigger than Facebook, why sell?

has no revenue now, it’s difficult to value.

That is actually an asset in driving up its price as potential owners may be driven by the fear of losing out on the next big thing.

4. Money is overrated.

If Evan Spiegel at 23 is smart enough to build an app that people think is worth $3 billion or $4 billion, he will have no trouble making gobs of money during his life.

Research shows that after $60,000 a year, happiness levels off. He’ll be fine without taking $3 billion from Facebook. Spiegel deserves admiration and praise for not selling out.

5. Zuckerberg has shown that passing on a billion or more can work.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was 22 when he turned down a $1 billion offer from Yahoo to buy Facebook. He has done 3. If Spiegel wanted to sell, he should hold just fine since. When you have a product out for more money. with great upside, don’t sell it to someone else. Spiegel might only regret what he There have been reports of investors valuing Snapchat at between $3 billion and could have built with Snapchat. He is wise to learn from the history of the man sitting $4 billion. It doesn’t make sense to sell on across the negotiation table from him. the low end of that range. Since Snapchat

The idea is deceptively simple: Because President Barack Obama promised Americans they could keep their existing insurance under his new health care reform law, Congress should pass a law guaranteeing that they can.

In reality, though, Obama was wrong to have made that promise – and Congress would be compounding his foolishness by forcing insurance companies to keep it. The primary goal of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is to make the health care system more efficient and comprehensive. It has never been to preserve individual insurance plans.

Recall that the reason the president’s promise was so dumb is that it was not his to make. That is, the federal government cannot force insurers to offer policies they do not want to sell. What it can do, however, is set a minimum level of benefits (preventive care without co-payments, for example) and require that they be offered at the same price to everyone, even people in poor health. And it can create a marketplace to allow people to compare plans and coverage.

This is, in fact, what the Affordable Care Act does (or tries to; its glitchy federal marketplace has allowed only about 27,000 people to get private insurance so far). Some insurance companies thus decided to stop selling policies that did not meet these criteria – or, alternatively, to improve their policies but raise prices.

As a result, thousands of people who buy health insurance on their own – not through an employer – are seeing their policies canceled. For the most part, these are either people who are healthy enough to have been offered affordable premiums for decent insurance or people who bought low-cost insurance that doesn’t cover basic or unforeseen health care bills.

Allowing them to keep these policies – as two congressional proposals would do – causes practical and policy problems. On the small side are the headaches it creates for insurers, which have already canceled their plans and laid the groundwork for complying with the new law. A much bigger problem is that healthy people would be kept from joining the risk pools for policies sold on the exchanges, boosting costs for insurers and leading them, in turn, to raise prices.

The two proposals before Congress are deficient in almost opposite ways. The bill introduced by Rep. Fred Upton, a Republican from Michigan, would allow an insurer to keep selling policies through 2014 that it offered on Jan. 1, 2013 – even to people who don’t already have those policies.

This bill would not force insurers to keep selling those policies, however, and many might remain canceled. The result would be that, for some people, Upton’s Keep Your Health Plan Act would be guilty of making the same false promise that Obama did.

The bill from Sen. Mary Landrieu, the Louisiana Democrat, would require insurers to keep selling any policy sold on Dec. 31 of this year for as long as the customer wants to keep it – unless the insurer gets out of the health care business altogether. It’s hard to imagine such a coercive measure passing. Not only would insurers – which change their policies all the time – resist, but such an imposition on the private market would surely enrage Obamacare’s opponents.

One of the virtues (or defects; choose one) of Obamacare is that it would disrupt the health-insurance market. Some people would not be able to keep their insurance under the law, and Obama was wrong to say otherwise. Instead of doubling down on his promise, Congress should keep the pressure on the administration to fix the law’s website. At least that way, those who have lost their insurance will have a better idea of what their options are.

8 ANOTHER VIEW

Bullying affects pros, too Plenty can be said about the alleged locker room harassment that prompted a Miami Dolphins offensive lineman to pick up and leave the team in mid-season. But nothing that can be said about it is more important than this: If a 300-pound lineman can be bullied so badly that he gives up, then no one should be ashamed of being a victim.

The case of Dolphins lineman Jonathan Martin, the alleged victim, also presents us with an important lesson: Bullying must be taken seriously by others in power, no matter the age of the people involved or how big the recipient of the abuse.

The culture of the NFL, and sports in general, has come into question in the past week because of this incident. The unpleasant truth is that hazing, harassment and bullying can occur at every level, from elementary school to professional teams. While horseplay will ever be with us, and having to pay one’s dues as a rookie or new recruit is a time-honored rite of passage – usually done in a most lighthearted manner – there’s a difference between testing a man’s moxie and outright abuse.

We hope the NFL and its players association continue to take this matter seriously. There’s horsing around and then there’s thuggish torment. If these allegations are true, then you have to wonder why any team would employ Martin’s alleged tormentor, offensive lineman Richie Incognito, again.

On the bright side, the episode could be a godsend to abuse victims of all sizes and ages. It’s a reminder that persecution is persecution, and that no one has a right to do it to anyone else.

Da’Ron Brown finds redemption

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Jordan Lynch went up to Da’Ron Brown and told the junior wide receiver he was going to find him again.

Brown had just fumbled away a crucial opportunity in the red zone in the fourth quarter of NIU’s all-important game against Ball State on Wednesday night at Huskie Stadium, and it was a play which, at the time, looked like it could have led to a Cardinals victory.

Yet, it was Yonkovich who further proved his ability to top expectations.

DeKalb’s Colette LeBlanc swims the butterfly during practice Wednesday. LeBlanc, a freshman, will be substituting for her sister, senior Sam LeBlanc, at this weekend’s sectional meet.

DeKALB – For the past three years Colette LeBlanc had been hearing stories about the DeKalb/Sycamore co-op swim team.

Her older sister, Sam, now a senior at DeKalb, would come home and talk about the team, training and out-ofpractice bonding that happens

with her fellow swimmers.

“We spend so much time together that it’s impossible that we wouldn’t become really close friends,” Sam said.

“We’re really a very different group of personalities so it’s interesting that we all come together.”

This year Colette, in her freshman year at DeKalb, finally got her chance to join and the two sisters have spent

the past three months swimming together and racing against each other.

Swimming has become a family sport for the LeBlancs since they moved to DeKalb from Colorado three years ago. Sam picked up the sport when she was younger and joined the high school swim team as a freshman.

The Bears’ Josh McCown watches a replay from the sidelines late in the fourth quarter Sunday at Soldier Field.

McCown is a nice guy with nice game LAKE FOREST – Josh McCown stepped off of a raised platform at Halas Hall, slung his work bag around his right shoulder and turned his head toward a room full of reporters.

“See ya, guys,” McCown said Thursday as he strolled out of the room.

What followed was stunned silence.

Did he just address us as humans? After he just gave a 17-minute news conference in which he offered polite, thoughtful answers? What’s he after, anyway? What’s the catch?

Not to say Jay Cutler doesn’t mutter farewells to certain media members after his news conferences. They just happen to begin with an expletive and end with the word “idiot.”

But then it struck me.

Caleb Hanie was a really nice guy.

Jason Campbell never turned down an interview request.

Cut through the New England accent, and Todd Collins was practically a Midwestern everyman.

Clearly, no strong correlation exists between one’s personality and one’s ability to play quarterback. But in three appearances this season, McCown has provided every indication that he can avoid the long-standing backup quarterback tradition of Nice Guy, Ugly Game.

Because at 34 years old, McCown is playing the best football of his career.

Maybe.

Probably.

BEARS INSIDER Tom Musick “I don’t know,” said McCown, missing his opportunity to pound his chest. “It would probably be better to step back after the season. But I feel like right now I’m just trying to play efficient football and just try to do what we’re asked to do.”

It wasn’t always that simple.

••• On a cold December afternoon in 2002, McCown’s dream became a reality.

A harsh reality, but a reality nonetheless.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jake Plummer had thrown his third interception against the Kansas City Chiefs, who promptly scored their sixth touchdown to take a 42-0 lead. McCown was a rookie for the Cardinals after a college career at Southern Methodist and Sam Houston State, and he finally got the call to make his NFL debut late in the third quarter.

Six plays later, Chiefs cornerback Ray Crockett (uncle of Bears defensive tackle Henry Melton) intercepted McCown to spoil his first series. McCown finished his debut with a horrific 10.8 passer rating, and the Cardinals returned to the desert on the heels of a 49-0 loss.

Not much changed during McCown’s four-year tenure with the Cardinals. By the time he joined the Detroit Lions in 2006, he had thrown

more interceptions (29) than touchdowns (25).

At some point along the way, McCown realized that his career arc had changed trajectory.

He spoke with his brother, Luke, who was the Cleveland Browns’ fourth-round pick two years after the Cardinals made Josh their third-round pick. Luke started four games as a rookie before settling into a backup role, which continues to this day with the New Orleans Saints.

“My little brother and I talked about this: If there’s an obvious point in your career where you get like, ‘OK, nobody’s going to beat down my door to be a starter,’ ” McCown said. “So you understand. You don’t get content, but at the same time, you understand your role on your team.

“Again, it goes back to [the question]: ‘As a backup, how can I add value to my team?’ ” Simple.

Be ready. Be smart.

It also helps to be friendly.

••• So here stands McCown, behind a lectern, answering questions about his second start of the season and his fourth start in the past five years.

McCown and his teammates will face the Baltimore Ravens (4-5), who have struggled this season but remain tough on defense. The Bears won McCown’s previous start against the Green Bay Packers and badly need a win to bolster their playoff chances.

McCown is confident he can do the job.

“You feel like there’s an op-

portunity to be successful every game, and you don’t have to step outside the system and press every time,” McCown said. “If you drop back and it’s not there, you can check the ball down, you can throw the ball away, and you know from a play-calling standpoint and the structure of our system that we’ll have another shot, we’ll have another play. …

“So, for me, that’s created a lot of ease and allowed me to play more consistent because I don’t press and try to get outside of the system and get outside of myself.”

The result – at least, up until this long-winded jinx – has been impressive.

McCown has thrown 70 passes without an interception this season, which is the fourth-best mark in the NFL. Philadelphia’s Nick Foles (136) owns the longest streak and is followed by Houston’s Case Keenum (102) and the aforementioned Campbell (75), now with Cleveland.

And next is McCown, who still feels as if he has room to improve.

“Absolutely,” McCown said. “I think the fastest way downhill is to think that you know it.

“The first day that you go, ‘Ah, I got it now,’ that’s the last day.”

Soon after, McCown picked up his work bag and headed toward the meeting rooms.

See ya.

Pirri provides game-winner for Hawks

The Blackhawks’ Brandon Saad (20) celebrates with teammates after scoring a goal during the first period Thursday against the Phoenix Coyotes at the United Center.

At 13-4-3, the Coyotes are off to their best start since 1998-99 when they were 15-3-2 after 20 games.

Smith made 48 saves and the Hawks’ Corey Crawford had 26 in a wide-open, back-and-forth game.

The 52 shots allowed by the Coyotes through overtime also were a season high. Smith entered having faced an NHL-high 555 shots.

Phoenix defenseman Zbynek Michalek left after five shifts in the first period with a lower-body injury.

WESTERN CONFERENCE

BLACKHAWKS 5, COYOTES 4 (SO)

CHICAGO – Jonathan Toews and rookie Brandon Pirri scored in a four-round shootout, and the Blackhawks beat the Phoenix Coyotes, 5-4, on Thursday night for their fourth straight win.

Radim Vrbata had the lone shootout goal for Phoenix, 7-1-1 in its past nine games.

Pirri tied the score 4-all 3 minutes into the third, and 4 seconds after a Hawks’ power play had elapsed. He connected on a midair deflection of Brent Seabrook’s drive from the top of the circle.

Brandon Saad, Patrick Sharp and Marian Hossa also scored in regulation for the Hawks, who extended their point streak to eight games (7-0-1). The Hawks fired a season-high 52 shots through overtime at Coyotes goalie Mike Smith.

Phoenix defenseman Michael Stone scored two goals for the first time in his career as the Coyotes overcame an early twogoal deficit to earn a point.

Shane Doan and Lauri Korpikoski also scored for Phoenix.

GB — 4 5½ 5½ 5½

The Hawks jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the opening 6:22, but the Coyotes came back to tie it 2-all after the first period.

Saad opened the scoring 2:37 in when he popped in a rebound with Smith down on the ice and a scrum in the crease.

Sharp made it 2-0 at 6:22 with a power-play goal, on a rising shot fired from the top of the slot and through a screen.

The 23-year-old Stone cut it to 2-1 just 41 seconds later when his shot from the right point deflected off Pirri’s stick and past Crawford.

Doan’s power-play goal, chipped in from the right side of the net with 5:56 left in the first, tied it at 2. Keith Yandle’s shot from the point missed the net, caromed off the back boards and straight to Doan.

Hossa put the Hawks ahead again, 3-2, at 5:05 of the second when he drove to the net unchecked and scored on a rebound of his own shot from left wing.

Then Korpikoski and Stone scored 2:11 apart late in the second to put Phoenix ahead for the first time, 4-3.

From the edge of the crease, Korpikoski wrapped in a rebound of Vrbata’s shot with 5:05 left in the period to knot it at 3.

Stone’s second goal, on a high drive from the top of the left circle, sailed past Crawford on the stick side and put the Coyotes in front.

After Pirri scored to tie it at 4, the Hawks took control and outshot the Coyotes 17-6 in the third. Smith stopped Hossa from point-blank range with a minute left in regulation.

The Hawks dominated the overtime and outshot Phoenix 3-0.

Sam LeBlanc swims freestyle during practice Wednesday. LeBlanc, a senior, is unable to attend the sectional swim meet this weekend so her sister, Colette LeBlanc, a freshman, will take her place.

Barbs prepare for sectionals • SECTIONALS Continued from page B1 Colette and the two younger LeBlanc sisters, Megan and Antoinette, began club swimming at the DeKalb County Swim Team and their dad even became the club’s head timer.

Colette said swimming with Sam on the high school team has been fun and she’s been able to adapt to the varsity team quicker with her advice. “[Sam] told me to keep going, even when I get tired,” Colette said. “She’s really good at encouraging our whole lane.

She’s just one of those people that likes to cheer other people on.”

DeKalb/Sycamore coach Leah Eames noticed the similarities between Colette and

urday.

“I was really upset about it. [IMEA is] usually the weekend after sectionals, but this year it happened to coincide,” Sam said. “You only get to do this IMEA once a year and I didn’t really have a shot at swimming state, so I figured there were plenty of meets, but there’s only one of [IMEA].”

In her place, Colette will get the opportunity to swim the 500-yard freestyle at the sectional, giving her experience that many swimmers don’t get until they are upperclassmen.

As far as words of encouragement Sam would give Colette in preparation for Saturday, Sam said she’d be fine.

“She swam a lot of big meets and she’s really prepared,” Sam said. “She’s going to do really well in that. I think she’s got it covered.”

Sam from the first day of practice. Eames Although Eames hadn’t been around Colette, she said her personality, mannerisms and even work ethic matched that of Sam. “They are definitely two people made from the same mold,” Eames said. “Even their strokes are actually very similar in some aspects, especially in the freestyle.”

But as DeKalb/Sycamore trained in preparation for the postseason, which starts this weekend, Sam had an unfortunate decision to make regarding her extracurricular schedule.

Also a member of DeKalb’s choir, Sam was forced to choose between the St. Charles East Sectional swim meet and the Illinois Music Education Association’s Junior/Senior Festival for DeKalb’s state district, both occurring Sat-

2013 DAILY CHRONICLE ALL-AREA BOYS GOLF TEAM FIRST TEAM Matt Yonkovich, sr., Kaneland The 2012 and 2013 Daily Chronicle Boys Golfer of the Year anchored the Knights’ lineup for two seasons. His fifth-place finish at the Class 2A state meet capped an impressive prep career.

Brody Kuhar, sr., Kaneland Golf is a part of everyday life for Kuhar.

“Brody grew up on a golf course,” Kaneland coach Mark Meyer said.

“Golf encompasses his personality.

He’s a grinder and one of the hardest workers I’ve coached.”

Tommy Lucca, so., Genoa-Kingston Acclimation to the big stage of the state tournament was supposed to be Lucca’s focus. Yet, the Class 2A state qualifier continued a hot streak that started in regionals with an opening round 76 and a 14th-place tie after Day 1. He finished his first state tournament in 36th place at 19-over par and has two years to top his best prep performance.

Jacob Cook, jr., DeKalb An anchor for the Barbs, Cook was the steadiest scorer and a

leader of a studious young team that immersed itself in shot preparation.

The Barbs posted a second-place finish in the Northern Illinois Big 12 Tournament.

NIU receiver Da’Ron Brown braces for a tackle in the first quarter Wednesday against Ball State.

Lynch backs, encourages Brown after his fumble • BROWN Continued from page B1 Brown had his first career 100-yard receiving game, and then some. He finished with eight catches for 209 yards, the seventh-most by any receiver in NIU history, and caught two touchdowns – the other being a 58-yard grab from Lynch on a bubble screen late in the second quarter.

After his fumble, NIU’s only turnover of the game, Brown was able to redeem

himself fewer than 10 minutes later.

“It felt good to come back, make a big play,” Brown said. “The whole time (after the fumble) my teammates were telling me ‘Keep your head up.’ Jordan was telling me he’s going to come back to me, that showed me that he had confidence in me and I couldn’t let the team down, so I had to step up and make another play.”

NIU didn’t really take many chances downfield in the first half, instead rely-

ing on screens, which were effective. In the second half, however, Ball State started concentrating on the run and Lynch was able to capitalize downfield, finishing with 345 passing yards.

“On some of our jet sweeps and stuff like that, we noticed the first half, their safeties were staying back and stuff like that, on the jet sweeps,” Lynch said. “Second half they’re kind of inching closer, closer and closer. That’s when we took advantage of those deep balls.”

Yonkovich looking at collegiate options • DRIVE Continued from page B1 “I really wanted to post a good score at state, I wanted a spot in the top 10,” said Yonkovich who is still undecided on where he will play college golf next year. “I wanted to go low and despite the conditions, just went out and pulled off shots.

They were the same hard conditions for everyone. I just went out there and hit the ball. There was no use in complaining about the weather, that wasn’t going to change anything.”

It was fitting Yonkovich didn’t let the weather on the second day at state alter his approach. Reliability was a hallmark of his three-year varsity career.

“It was all about consistency with Matt,” Kaneland coach Mark Meyer said. “We used his score in 44 consecutive competitions. Since midway through his sophomore year we have counted on his score.”

There was no secret to his steady scoring and role as the Knight’s anchor at No. 1 the past two years: practice.

In the summer it was participation in as many Illinois Junior Golf Association and Mid-American Junior Golf Tour events as possible.

The heightened level of competition at the exclusive events was cut throat.

“Improvement all depends on how much you want to practice,” Yonkovich said. “Playing in the summer really got me in the mode for the high school season. I played a lot of in-season practice rounds and spent a lot of time at the range.”

Time that earned Yonkovich his second straight Player of the Year honors.

Connecting with the

COMMUNITY New pastor joins Sycamore United Methodist

T

he Rev. GaHyung Kim plans to serve to the community through the Sycamore United Methodist Church.

Kim became the new pastor of the church in July and since then has been making connections in the community, from service clubs to public schools. For her, staying in the church’s office at 160 Johnson Ave. is not the way to do ministry and it’s important for her to get to know the people who live in the area.

“I always feel that a pastor is part of the community and not different,” she said. “I try to visit everyone in my church and let

Sycamore United Methodist Church Address: 160 Johnson Ave., Sycamore Phone: 815-895-9113 Website: www.sycamoreumc.org them know about becoming disciples. When they become disciples, it is transforming the world.”

Kim joins the Rev. Harlene Harden as the first team of women pastors for the church. The Rev. Bill Landis, the previous pastor, left to work at a Methodist church in Antioch. Kim said pastors within the United Methodist Church are chosen to by Bishop Sally Dyck and a cabinet to lead churches.

But Kim sees herself as having a more humble attitude in her role as a leader for Sycamore United Methodist Church. She may have been ordained by a bishop to become a pastor but the people who help her to become better are the people in her congregation.

“I am very blessed,” she said.

“Whatever church I serve ... my attitude is this is my best church, regardless if it’s small or large.”

Harden said Kim has not only

been familiarizing herself with the Sycamore community but also members of the rural community in the area. This led her to have a chance to ride a combine with her daughter Rachel, she said. Sycamore is not an entirely new place for her since she served as a pastor for the First United Methodist Church in DeKalb 11 years ago.

“Coming back to Sycamore is like coming back to a hometown again,” she said.

Before serving as a pastor for several Methodist churches in northern Illinois, Kim studied at the McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago in 1988 and was ordained the same year. She said she was motivated to lead a “meaningful life” in the U.S. after being exposed to diversity and minority issues that existed there.

She previously learned about minority issues when she spent a year in the early 1980s working as a mission intern for a church in Japan that tried to create peace and reconciliation between Korea and Japan. It was there she learned about hearing “powerless, small voices,” in the community.

“In Japan, I learned about Korean minority issues because

during World War II, Korea was occupied by Japan,” she said.

Before interning in Japan, Kim studied psychology at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

SUMC is a “progressive, loving” church that has strong connections to Methodist churches worldwide, Harden said. Everyone from the DeKalb and Sycamore community is welcome to join the estimated 1,200 members, she said.

“Every United Methodist Church that is in this country or abroad [is] connected through our theological beliefs [and] through our mission to make disciples for the transformation of the world,” Harden said.

So far, Kim has been conducting baptisms, funerals and other ceremonies for the church as part of her effort to connect with the community. She offers people prayer, care and connection with God. She also works with members of the church, including its youth, to aid people through mission trips and other charitable efforts.

“Worship is not just about the message only,” she said. “It’s people sharing their gifts and talents.”

ADVICE & PUZZLES

Daily Chronicle / Daily-Chronicle.com

Wife’s wild past puts marriage in jeopardy Dear Abby: This is my wife’s second marriage. When we were dating, she led me to believe that I was the second sexual partner she had ever had. Shortly after our wedding, I found out through some mutual acquaintances she had attended college with that she had been very promiscuous during her college years and that the number of men she has been with is far greater than two.

I feel lied to and trapped in my marriage. (If I had known this, I would not have married her.) She knows I know.

She dismissed it by saying the past doesn’t matter, but what she fails to recognize is that it matters to ME. I can’t help but wonder if she has lied to me about something this important, what else will she

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips lie to me about?

I love her and want to stay with her, but I feel betrayed and, frankly, embarrassed by her now. What do I do? – Confounded in The South Dear Confounded: People lie when they feel threatened, when they want to impress someone or when they’re ashamed of something. The lie your wife told you may fall into the latter category. She wasn’t honest about the number of men she had been with because she knew you would react the way you have.

You say you love her, but if you truly feel embarrassed by

the fact that you’re not the second man she has slept with, then you either need to change your attitude or do her a favor and think about ending your marriage. From my perspective, the number of lovers she has had since the wedding is far more important than the number she had before.

Please be aware that many women in our society have had multiple partners, so if you’re looking to replace your wife anytime soon, you may be hard pressed to find a woman with no experience.

If you want to salvage your marriage, I strongly recommend you talk to a therapist, but don’t spend your money unless you can forgive your wife for being afraid to tell you the truth.

Dear Abby: I’m a 16-year-old

guy, and I have a problem. I recently met a girl in a chat room, and we seemed to hit it off pretty well. As we’ve been talking, she has told me she is suicidal, and in the past three days she has made three attempts to take her life. (As I’m writing this, she is in the hospital.)

Being a sensitive person, I try to talk her out of it, but she keeps shutting me out, and once she’s OK, she is a completely different person. I still want to be her friend, but this is getting to be too much for me. Please help. – Worried in Vermont Dear Worried: You are a caring person, but you must recognize that the girl you are corresponding with is emotionally fragile. Right now she is unable to respond to you and,

frankly, you are not equipped to help her. It’s good that she is in the hospital because that is where she needs to be until she can be stabilized.

If you continue to stay in touch with her and she tells you again that she is suicidal, you should ask her where she is and if she has done anything to herself. Then call 911 and report it so she can get help QUICKLY. Dear Abby: What do you do with a husband who is loud and rude, who curses constantly and argues with you and the TV, and is a bully to you and your daughter? – That’s It In A Nutshell Dear That’s It: As little as possible!

Body temp can range on either side of 98.6 Dear Dr. K: Even when I’m feeling fine, my body temperature is rarely 98.6 degrees. I thought that was the normal temperature. Should I be concerned?

Dear Reader: It’s still taught to schoolchildren: Normal human body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. But people are different from one another. That’s as true of their body temperature as it is of their height, the size of their ears or the color of their hair.

What is a “normal” temperature? Researchers have measured the body temperatures of thousands of healthy people. They’ve found that normal oral temperatures range from 97.5 to 98.9 de-

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff grees. About one in 20 people have temperatures even a bit lower or higher.

Each person’s body temperature also varies by 1 or 2 degrees over the course of the day. It reaches a low between 2 a.m. to 4 a.m., and a high 12 hours later.

There also is some inaccuracy in the way we usually take our temperature. Our mouth is a convenient place to measure our temperature.

But to the body, core body temperature – the actual temperature inside the body – is

what counts. Core temperature is generally a degree or so higher than the temperature in our mouth because, for most of us, most of the time, the air we breathe in through our mouth is cooler than our core body temperature. The best way to measure our core temperature is by rectal or inner-ear measurement.

If a “normal” temperature is variable, and not just a single simple number, why do we bother to take it? Because temperature outside that normal range of 97.5 to 98.9 degrees is often an indicator of disease. If you’re not feeling well, and your temperature is 101 degrees, or 96 degrees, there’s something wrong.

Your doctor has a diagnosis to make.

The most common cause of elevated body temperature is infection. Almost any infection in the body can cause fever. But there are other causes of elevated body temperature, including heat stroke or a drug reaction.

Although it happens less often, abnormally low body temperature can indicate a condition such as an underactive thyroid. Once, I was called to see a patient with a body temperature of 95 and a heart rate of 35 (normal is 60 to 80). His thyroid was so underactive that his heart and metabolism were really slowed down.

When a person’s body temperature goes too far outside the normal range, it’s bad for the body – sometimes really bad. That’s because the cells of the body depend on a narrow temperature range for thousands of internal chemical reactions to occur properly. Severely low or high body temperature can lead to permanent organ damage, even death.

So don’t be concerned about a body temperature that’s not exactly 98.6, so long as it’s in the normal range.

And when it’s not, particularly if you are not feeling well, it’s time to call the doctor.

College student wants her own credit card Dr. Wallace: I am in my first year at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. I want to get a credit card for emergencies, or to buy something special when I don’t have the cash available. All my friends have their own credit cards, and they all say that it is really handy to have it.

My parents think that credit cards teach the cardholder to buy things they don’t really need, simply because it is so easy. They tell me that most people my age can’t get a credit card because they don’t have a credit history. How difficult is it to get a credit card? I am 18 years old.

TODAY – A chance to make a difference will brighten your world and give you hope for future opportunities. Your capability and potential will draw positive attention and create quite a stir.

Follow your instincts and enjoy the journey.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – A work-related matter will create uncertainty. Don’t doubt your performance or your status. Stand behind your convictions and work diligently to reach your goal.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Work toward personal accomplishments today. Strive to be your best and to take care of what’s most important to you. Make a change if it will alleviate tension.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You can play the game with finesse. Each move you make will get you closer to your chosen destination. If you believe in your ability and skill, so will everyone else.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Don’t rely on someone else to finish what you started. You must take ownership of your responsibilities so you can move on to the things you enjoy doing most.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – There is money to be made if you put your ideas into action. What you launch now will take everyone by surprise, leaving an excellent impression and an impact on future possibilities.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Procrastination will lead you in unproductive circles. Make a choice and stick to it before someone complains or takes over. A practical approach will be your best recourse.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Taking part in a project, activity or event will broaden your outlook and your friendships. You’ll draw interest from someone very different from you. Enjoy collaborating with others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Look at the bright side, whatever transpires today. Being adaptable will help you find solutions as you go along. Guard against foolish mishaps or misunderstandings.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Don’t be afraid to voice your opinion or take on a daunting challenge. If you play to win, you will succeed.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – You need a diversion. Look for an interesting way to spend your day. If you interact with people from different backgrounds, you will be enriched by the information you gather.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Question anyone asking for money or help. A snap decision regarding such matters will result in loss.

Honest conversation will allow you to offer reasonable solutions.

Charity begins at home.

Overreacting will make matters worse. Listen attentively, but don’t meddle or make promises that you’ll regret. Face facts and make needed changes.

imum required payment. The balance owed is then charged a high interest rate of 15 to 20 percent. If you are not smart, you could go bust.

Talk to some of your friends who have their own credit cards and ask them how they were able to get their credit cards. Then contact the credit card company that you feel would be in your best interest. Don’t be discouraged by rejections. Continue until you can reach your goal. You might also contact banks in Columbus in person. Make sure you have sufficient money to pay the monthly credit card fee on time.

Dr. Wallace: I have been out with guys on double dates before, and I had a

8SUDOKU

miserable time every time.

If it had been with friends that I already knew, it might have been a different story, but now I just don’t want to double date.

A boy I know from church asked me out last week and I told him yes. He called me a couple days later and said we were going to be double dating with his buddy because the girl his buddy asked out could only go out on double dates. When I told this guy that I “don’t do double dates,” he got upset and wanted to know what I had against going on a date with another couple. I told him I had done that before and didn’t like to double date. He said I would like this couple

and that it would be fun, but I still told him I wouldn’t go.

At church today, this guy wouldn’t even look at me or speak to me. Somehow I got the feeling that he was very perturbed with me. Did I do something wrong to deserve this kind of “cold shoulder” treatment from him? – Nameless, Goshen, Ind. Nameless: You did nothing wrong. He probably was trying to help his friend out with a “double-date rule.” If this young man really wants to go out with you, he will probably ask you out again, and will assure you that nobody else will tag along.

8CROSSWORD

BRIDGE Phillip Alder

The hideous hog is still winning Victor Mollo wrote humorous stories featuring his “menagerie” of bridge players. When he died in 1987, everyone assumed that would be that. However, many unpublished articles have been found among his papers.

These are being put into four books. “The Hog Takes to Precision” came out in 2011, “Diamonds Are the Hog’s Best Friend” appeared this year, and stay tuned for the other two. All are published by Master Point Press.

The Rueful Rabbit is a poor player who always lands on his feet. This deal is a typical example. North has a problem over two no-trump. He might pass; or he could respond three clubs, Stayman, planning on either bidding four hearts if a 4-4 fit is disclosed, or settling for three no-trump and hoping the diamonds run.

In this auction, NorthSouth had agreed to use transfer bids, but North forgot. So he assumed South’s threeheart rebid indicated length in that suit.

Against four hearts, West led the spade king (luckily not a trump). The Rueful Rabbit ruffed in the dummy, played a diamond to his ace, trumped another spade, returned to the diamond king, ruffed a third spade, and took two club tricks ending on the board.

After a brief pause, R.R. trumped a diamond with his heart jack. West had to discard a spade. Then a fourth spade ruff was followed by another diamond. With this coup en passant, East could not stop South from scoring his heart king. Four hearts bid and made!

If you have never read any of these stories, start with the original book, “Bridge in the Menagerie.”
